Compote of Winter Fruits in Red Wine

 

2 cups sliced pears

2 cups sliced green apples

1/3 cup chopped dried apricots

1/4 cup chopped dried pineapple

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups dry red wine

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

grated rind of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons orange juice

1 cup nonfat plain yogurt or soy yogurt

 

In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine pears, apples, apricots,

pineapple, vanilla, wine, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon rind, and orange

fruit is very soft (about 30 minutes).

Serve warm or chilled, topped with nonfat yogurt. Yields approximately 5 cups
