PCRM Recipe of the Week: Summer Fruit Compote

[Guest guest]

Just got this today. While we like our fruit raw, this is a good one to keep for

those days when we might want to make it a little more fancy. It would be good

for visitors too. I note that there are only 121 calories per serving

 

Love and hugs, Pat
