DRIED FRUIT COMPOTE
This is an absolute go-to dish for people taking pain medication. Why? Because many pain meds, especially opiates, can stop up the works, if you get my meaning. This isn't your typical fiber-laden, tasteless concoction. (Can you say bran muffin?) In addition to prunes, the traditional remedy, this compote also includes dried apricots and cherries, and we've also brought ginger and cardomom to the party. The result is a delicious compote that smells incredible while it's cooking and goes great over oatmeal or on toast. For those days when you need a kick start, this blend will nudge you in the right direction. Believe me, it works. Before cooking the compote, it's best to soak the fruit for a few hours, or preferably overnight, so plan ahead. This is great served warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Combine the prunes, apricots, cherries, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and salt in a saucepan and add water to cover. Soak overnight, if possible, or for a few hours before cooking.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat and gently simmer for about 1 hour, until the fruit is very, very soft and the liquid is syrupy. Stir in the lemon juice and remove from the heat. Remove and discard the cinnamon sticks.
- Goes with Best Oatmeal Ever (page 128), Creamy Millet (page 136), and Creamiest Buckwheat (page 138).
- You can use dried apples, pears, figs, or any combination of dried fruit to equal 3 cups.
- The compote is a versatile condiment that crosses culinary boundaries and can be used on both sweet and savory dishes. Stir it into yogurt, spoon it alongside a sweet potato, or serve it atop oatmeal. You can even use it like jam: spread a dollop on a piece of toast with almond butter.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 7 days or in the freezer for 2 months.

PRUNE-PLUM AND PEACH COMPOTE
Steps:
- Halve the prune plums and discard the pits. Place the plums in a large stainless-steel saucepan with the mint, jam and wine.
- Peel the peaches with a sharp paring knife or vegetable peeler and cut each of them into six wedges, discarding the pits.
- Bring the plum mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, and boil gently, covered, for 2 minutes. Add the peach wedges and bring the mixture back to a boil. Immediately remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool in the pan. When at room temperature, transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 to 5 hours but for up to 5 to 6 days.
- At serving time, remove and discard the mint.

Steps:
- Combine the sugar, wine, one cup of water, cloves, cinnamon and lemon zest in a saucepan large enough to hold the plums. Bring the ingredients to a boil, and cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
- Add plums, and bring mixture back to a boil; lower heat, and simmer plums for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on their ripeness, until they are tender but still hold their shape. Some plums will be ready before others; remove them as they are. Then when they are all cooked, return the plums to the syrup, remove from heat and let cool.
- Chill plums in the syrup. Serve over vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt with some of the syrup, or serve with their syrup topped with whipped cream or creme fraiche.

- Place the plum halves cut-side up in a 2-quart capacity baking dish (or alternatively, an 8-inch square baking pan) and spread into an even thin, tighlty packed layer. It is ok if they slightly overlap, but try to mostly keep them in a single layer.
- Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the plum halves, then drizzle the honey evenly across the fruit. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the plums have softened slightly, and gently toss with a spoon. Continue baking for an additional 5 to 15 minutes, or until the plums are soft and syrupy, yet still intact. Total baking time will vary depending on the size and ripeness of your fruit.
- Set aside on rack to cool - the liquid will become thicker and more syrupy as it cools. Stir in vanilla paste or extract, if using. Transfer compote to a container and store in the fridge for up to a week. Best served with yogurt or on top of ice cream, pancakes, or waffles.
