Ingredients

2 cups mix dried fruit, such as apples, pears, mangos, pineapple, cherries, cranberries, raisins, strawberries and dates

2 cups cranberry juice 

4 whole cloves 

1 orange, zest removed in strips with a peeler and juiced 

1 cinnamon stick 

Pinch kosher salt 

1/4 cup whiskey 

1/4 cup honey 

Splash balsamic vinegar 

Splash almond extract 

Ice cream, for serving

Gingersnaps, for serving

Directions

  1. Chop any large pieces of fruit into 1/2-inch pieces. Add the fruit to a medium pot along with the cranberry juice, cloves, orange zest and juice, cinnamon stick and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and allow to simmer until the fruit is soft but not mushy, about 15 minutes. If the mixture becomes dry, add some water.
  2. Turn off the heat and stir in whiskey, honey, balsamic vinegar and almond extract. Return the pan to the heat and cook until the mixture is heated through and thoroughly combined, about 3 minutes. Taste and adjust with more honey, vinegar or extract.
  3. Allow to cool a little, then serve warm over ice cream, accompanied by gingersnaps. Garnish with the orange peel strips and cinnamon stick from the pan, if desired.
