Yield 2-3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

• 3/4 c. dried cherries
• 3/4 c. golden raisins
• 3/4 c. dried apricots, cut into 1/4-in. pieces
• 1 (2- to 3-in.-long) cinnamon stick
• 2 (4-in.-long) strips orange zest
• 3 to 4 cardamom pods, lightly crushed
•1/4 c. honey
• 11/2 c. water
•1/2 vanilla bean, split
• 1 medium orange

Steps:

  • In a medium nonreactive saucepan, add dried fruit, cinnamon, orange zest, cardamom pods, honey and water. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean and add, along with the vanilla bean pod itself, to the pan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and let mixture come to a gentle simmer; cover and cook about 10 minutes. Uncover and cook 5 more minutes. Remove from heat. Meanwhile, cut the peel (including white pith) from the orange using a sharp knife. Holding the orange over the saucepan to catch juices, carefully cut the segments away from the membranes; discard membranes. Coarsely chop flesh and carefully stir into the compote once it's cooled a bit. Cool completely. Store tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Use on top of oatmeal.
