This chilled breakfast fruit compote is made with a generous mix of prunes, apples, raisins and oranges. Served chilled, this fruit recipe is a nice addition to add color and flavor to your breakfast or brunch table.
The warm bright inviting colors of the fruits are eye-catching and add that needed punch of color when you are serving a special brunch menu or just want something a bit different. A hint of cinnamon adds a deep rich flavor to the fruit juices.
A compote is a nice accompaniment to a breakfast casserole because of the tartness of the fruit and the sweetness from the sugar. The flavors complement each other and it helps round out the meal.
I know some of you might be wondering about a recipe that calls for prunes – knowing some of their less positive properties. 🙂 I thought I would take a moment and address some of the positive benefits of prunes.
Prunes are a nutrient dense food with antioxidant properties and they also contain high amounts of fiber. I do want to note that this recipe only calls for 1/2 cup of pitted prunes. When divided by 4 servings, that is a very small amount of prunes.
