How to Make Spiked Fruit
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup dried cranberries, 1/2 cup dried cherries, 1/4 cup raisins, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup bourbon (or other liquor of choice), 1/4 cup water, 2 cinnamon sticks, 1 star anise, and 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is plump and the liquid has slightly reduced.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Remove and discard the cinnamon sticks, star anise, and vanilla bean.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, or up to 1 week, to allow the flavors to fully meld.
- Serve warm or cold over your favorite dessert: scoops of vanilla ice cream, slices of pound cake, or a dollop of plain yogurt. Enjoy!
