fruit compote recipie

Several of you have asked for this, so here it is:

Baked Fruit Compote

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 cup wine (any decent kind, I used white)

16 oz (2 1/2 cups) dried apricots

1 cup pitted prunes

1 20 oz can pineapple chunks in juice, undrained

1 21 oz can cherry pie filling (I used lite)

Heat oven to 350.  Dissolve sugar in wine, put fruits in 2 1/2 quart baking dish, add wine mixture and stir to mix.  Cover with foil and bake 1 hour or until most of the liquid is absorbed.  Cool, cover and refrigerate overnight.  Serve cold or room temp.

That's all it is!

The week after

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas day. We had a nice trip to Montevideo, and a semi-white (which is more than enough, thanks) Christmas.
Love,
Laura

P.S. Does anyone have any picture to share from the reception for Elizabeth and Josh? I would love to see them even though we couldn't make it.

It's beginning to look a lot like...

                                              Also, I have been thinking about Charlotte. There are recipes that bear a resemblance to ours here and here. Interestingly, they all seem to put the Charlotte with some kind of cake or cookie. Do you know if anybody in our family ever did this?

We'll miss seeing you all this weekend, but I'll be thinking of you just the same.

Love,

Laura

UPDATED P.S. Just heard this on pandora.com

Daniel

Laura made this lovely sweater for Daniel.  Isn't it so cute?   (He's not too bad either!)   

Gift list, you say?

I would happily receive anything from Josh's and my registries at Target or Belk.  (I'm under Elizabeth Morgan. :) )
