Quick, Easy -N- Fast Sunshine Compote Recipe
2 t. grated orange zest
1 1/3 C. orange juice
2/3 C. diced dried apricots
3 T. sugar
5 large navel oranges
Combine the zest, juice, apricots and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a
boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, to develop the
flavors, about 5 minutes (it will not thicken). Remove the pan from the heat.
Meanwhile, use a sharp paring knife to remove the rinds from the oranges. Cut
the oranges crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Lay the slices in a
quiche-style baking dish. Ladle the hot juice over them. (The compote can be
served immediately or refrigerated overnight. Bring to room temperature before
serving.) Serve in shallow soup plates, divided evenly with sauce over each.
