1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup honey

Dried Fruit Compote

4 cups dried apricots
4 cups dried seedless raisins
2 cups yellow raisins
2 cups English or California walnut pieces
2 cups shelled pistachio nuts
2 cups blanched almonds

Wash all of the ingredients. Into one bowl, put the dried apricots, seedless raisins, and yellow raisins. Cover with cold water to 2 inches above fruit. Cover bowl and refrigerate for one day.

In a second bowl, place the walnuts, pistachio nuts, and almonds. Add water the same as above, cover, and set aside for one day.

As the skins soften on the nuts, they should be peeled (or you can buy the nuts already peeled).

Soak another day. Then combine apricots, raisins, and peeled nuts.
