Dried Fruit Compote With Rum image

I no longer do much baking with rum & liqueurs, but once-upon-a-time this compote was well-received & most enjoyed! This is a great topping for various unfrosted cakes as well as for vanilla ice cream! The pint jars also make nice gifts! Obviously, the preparation time does not include the 30 days it takes to 'age'!! NOTE: The ingredients have been edited to decrease the amount of honey to use -- one thing I know for sure, everyone's sweet tooth is different!
