Categories     dessert

Time 5h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (750 ml) bottle Moscato d'Asti Italian sparkling white wine
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 (6-inch) cinnamon stick (or two 3-inch sticks)
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
8 whole cloves, wrapped in cheesecloth and tied with kitchen string
Zest of 2 large oranges, zested with a strip zester
Zest of 1 lemon, zested with a strip zester
2 cups large dried Calimyrna figs, hard stems removed (12 ounces)
2 cups large dried apricots (12 ounces)
1 cup large pitted prunes (6 ounces)
1 cup large dried peaches, halved (6 ounces)
3/4 cup dried cherries (5 ounces)
Crème fraiche, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine the wine, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla bean, cloves, orange zest, and lemon zest in a large (10 to 11-inch diameter) pot or Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset. Add 2 cups of water, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
  • Add the figs, apricots, prunes, and peaches to the simmering liquid and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all the fruit is tender and the liquid is reduced. (Not to worry if the figs are less tender; you don't want to overcook the rest of the fruit.) Remove and discard the cloves.
  • Off the heat, stir in the cherries and allow the fruit to cool to room temperature in the poaching liquid. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Reheat and serve warm or at room temperature with poaching liquid and a dollop of crème fraiche.

TIPSY CHERRIES (MADE WITH FRESH CHERRIES)



Tipsy Cherries (Made With Fresh Cherries) image

My daughter use to work at a fruit and vegetable stand which was absolutely wonderful. I always had a beautiful supply of fresh ingredients all summer long. One year, I got tired of pitting cherries and I found this recipe. It's been a family favorite since... the adult family members, that is! =) Enjoy as is, in mixed drinks, teas, fruit juices or over ice cream. My recipe using jarred maraschino cherries will follow in the comments section. So easy and delicious!
