Preparation

Step 1

1 1/2 CUPS EACH DRIED APRICOTS AND PRUNES
1 1/2 CUPS HONEY
1/4 CUP RED WINE
(3-INCH) CINNAMON STICK
1 1/4 CUPS FRESH SQUEEZED ORANGE JUICE

TIP:
For a nonalcoholic version of this recipe, replace the red wine with an equal amount of Concord grape juice.

Heat the oven to 400°F.

Roughly chop the apricots and prunes and combine
with the remaining ingredients in a 13- by 9-inch baking pan.

Cook in the oven until the fruit is very tender and
liquid thickens, 40 to 50 minutes.


FRUITY FLAVORS
When stewing dried fruit, use varieties that most
appeal to you. For tangy flavor, try tart cherries,
cranberries, or peaches. For sweeter flavor, consider apricots, pears, prunes, or raisins.

Serve stewed fruit along side roast poultry, duck, or pork; spoon on yogurt or ice cream; or use as a filling for crepes or as a topping for pancakes.
