Vzvar (Honey-Sweetened Dried-Fruit Drink)

A truly wintry drink to warm you through the Epiphany evenings! Vzvar is an old Russian dish made for Christmas and Christmas Eve. It's prepared with honey, over a brew of dried fruit. Vzvar differs from compote in its more concentrated, sweeter taste. Sometimes it's made with the addition of wine or rice.
