Simple dried apricot compote

Easy Dried Apricot Compote

A digestion-friendly, vitamin-rich drink! When a child has a food sensitivity or allergy, it's tough on the parents—and on the kid, too, when everyone around is chewing gum, eating brightly dyed candy, and toting ice cream and bottles of soda all summer. Come up with healthier swaps, experiment a little, and bend the truth in a good cause. My suggestion: trade the soda for a simple compote, like this dried apricot one. Here's the recipe.

Step 7:

Rinse the dried apricots through several changes of water and soak them briefly in warm water. Set them in a bowl. In a deep saucepan, combine the sugar with hot water and bring to a boil. Five minutes after it boils, add the plumped apricots and cook for about 15 minutes. Let the compote sit for a while so the flavor deepens. You can also add prunes and raisins; since prunes are a bit dry, start them first and cook them for 15 minutes, then add the raisins and apricots. Cool the compote and pour it into empty plastic soda bottles so the kids won't doubt for a second that it's the real thing.
