DRIED FRUIT COMPOTE WITH FRESH APPLE AND PEAR
An alcohol-free compote with a variety of dried fruit and a bright flavor. This compote, which I like to add to my morning yogurt, does not involve wine, though you could add some red or white wine for flavor if you wanted to. The sweetness will vary with the type of fruit used. If you use dried sour cherries, don't use too many, because they will give the compote too stronga sour cherry flavor. Sweet fruit, like dried apples, pears and raisins, will result in a compote with a brighter taste. Apricots are great too, contributing another rich taste layer. I add fresh apple and pear for their texture, which remains somewhat crunchy even after they simmer.

Steps:
- Make the batter: In a large bowl, thoroughly whisk together the milk and eggs. Gradually add the flour, cinnamon and salt, whisking bit by bit until there are no visible lumps. Set the batter aside to rest for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
- Cook the pancakes: Heat a large nonstick pan (or, if preferred, a griddle) over medium-low heat. Melt the butter, then spoon in some batter for a test pancake. If the batter is a little runny and spreads too much in the pan, whisk in an additional 1 to 2 tablespoons flour. Batter too thick? Add a little milk and blend. Cook for a couple minutes until you see a bubble here and there on the surface. Flip and cook for another minute. Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with foil and keep warm in the oven until you build up a batch. Continue with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed. Note: If making smaller pancakes, leave room between each pancake for "spreading."
- You can eat these pancakes with the Red Grape Syrup, Date Compote with Fresh Pears or both.
- Cook the grapes: Heat a saute pan or saucepot large enough to hold the grapes over medium heat. Add the grapes and 1/2 cup water and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the grapes break open and release their liquid, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Strain the liquid into a clean pan (do not press on the grapes when straining the liquid; reserve the grapes for the sauce), return the pan to medium heat, add the honey and simmer until the liquid is slightly thick and syrupy in texture. Grate a little lemon zest over it. Halve the lemon and add the juice. Put the strained grapes back into the sauce.
- Cook the dates: Place the dates in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and simmer for 20 minutes. Add the cranberry juice and honey and cook until the dates are tender. Whisk to break up the fruit, adding a little water if the mixture is too dry.
- Cook the pears and finish: Heat another pan over medium heat and add the butter. When melted, add the pear slices and toss to coat. Cook until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the juice from the lemon to taste, then stir in the date compote.

- Use a knife to make a lengthwise slit into the dates, then remove the pits. Use a spoon to fill them with goat cheese.
- Top each with a tiny sprinkle of black pepper, sea salt and the tiniest bit of smoked paprika (just a tiny sprinkle has big flavor). Sprinkle on pistachio dust. If desired, add the tiniest drizzle of honey (again, use a small amount to heighten the flavor; too much and it overwhelms).

- To prepare the fruit: If you’re using fresh strawberries or peaches, cut them into thin slices. If you’re using small berries like blueberries or raspberries, you can use them whole. If you’re using frozen fruit, no need to defrost or slice them before using.
- In a medium saucepan, combine your fruit of choice, sweetener of choice and dash of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. This will take about 5 minutes for fresh fruit or 10 minutes for frozen fruit.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium. If you’re using chunky fruit or prefer a smoother consistency, mash the fruit with a potato masher or serving fork until it reaches your desired consistency. Continue simmering, stirring often, until the compote has condensed to about half of its original volume, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the compote from the heat. I’m generally satisfied with my compote at this point, but if the compote isn’t sweet enough for your liking, you can stir in a more sweetener, to taste. If you’d like it to be more smooth, mash it some more.
