I had a bag of dried fruit and couldn’t decide what to do with it. After searching cookbooks, I came up with a compote. It is more of a wintertime/holiday recipe. I guess it can be eaten anytime-on pancakes, waffles, as a side for meats, with cake…I am soaking the fruit in water and leaving it in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Tomorrow I will make the compote. The recipe calls for Marsala wine, but because of Brian, I will be using purple grape juice.
I also have some raspberries and blackberries in the freezer. I made an Italian orange custard. With the custard and the berries, I am going to make a Berry Tart tomorrow.
All of my Easter lily blooms have opened. I never really realized just how pretty the colors are until I shot this close up.
Wow! That Easter lily photo is spectacular. What fun! I hate to admit I haven’t read any Sinclair Lewis, and I’m an English teacher. I never really thought about it, but you made me want to read him. The Gathering sounds intriguing, too.
I was interesting that Brian reads so faithfully but still complains. Good for you for encouraging him to stick to it for so long. He’ll thank you for it someday.
I love the fruit food things. Your creativity is really running high right now, and in so many ways.
Your sister and I are in snow right now! It looks more like December than April. Your lily is lovely. I love fruit and would love that compote. Have a lovely day. HUGS
