How to Make Winter Spiced Fruit
- Combine 1 cup dried cranberries, 1/2 cup dried apricots, 1/4 cup dried figs, 1 cinnamon stick, 2 star anise, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 cup ruby port, and 1/4 cup water in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- If the dried fruits are not tender enough after 30 minutes, add an additional 1/4 cup of water and simmer for another 10-15 minutes, or until desired tenderness is reached.
- Once the fruit is tender, carefully remove the fruit from the pan using a slotted spoon and place it in a serving bowl.
- Strain the remaining liquid through a fine-mesh sieve over the fruit, discarding the solids. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or chilled.
