Cranberry-Mixed Fruit Kompots

Adapted from Latviešu ēdieni
Makes about 1.5 quarts

• 80 g prunes, chopped
• 70 g fresh cranberries, finely chopped
• 40 g dried apples (with no added sugar)¹, chopped
• 40 g raisins
• 60 g sugar
• 1 1/2 l water

In a medium pot, combine prunes and apples. Pour in the water and let soak until rehydrated (about 20 minutes). Bring to a boil, add sugar, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 15 minutes. Stir in raisins and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes. The fruit should be very soft. Remove from heat and stir in cranberries. Let stand for 10 - 20 minutes.

Serve warm as-is or cold with a bit of sweetened whipped cream.

Notes:

1. Really. I mean it! You don't need sweetened dried fruit for this - it throws the sugar balance all out of whack. We used Bare Fruit Dried Apples which worked beautifully.
