Spiced Fruit Compote With Ricotta Cream image

This is a lovely hot fruit salad for a winter's meal. Make sure you have the ricotta, otherwise it's too sweet. You can use any type of port or sweet wine I think, I've used part port part marsala and it was fine. Cook time does not include chill time.
