The biggest complaint about all the matzoh we eat at Passover is that is turns into a brick in your innards, a cause of digestive distress for many of us. Of course you can mitigate this by eating less matzoh and more fresh fruit and vegetables, but we know how much you love those matzoh breis, matzoh kugels, cakes and other treats.
One thing I always make at Passover to balance out the matzoh is fruit compote. It’s really easy, and it tastes great plain or mixed with a little yogurt. I eat it often for breakfast during the holiday.
Compote is more a method than a recipe, so feel free to improvise and add other dried fruits if you like.
Happy Passover and Easter to all who celebrate, and happy spring to all. I’m taking a break next week — see you in a few.
Ingredients:
2 cups pitted prunes
1 cup dried apricots
1/2 cup raisins, Craisins or dried cherries
1 lemon, sliced
2 Tbs. honey
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Directions:
Put all ingredients in a medium saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Turn heat down so the water is barely simmering and cook for at least a half-hour until the prunes and apricots are really soft, adding a little more water if necessary. Discard the lemon slices and cool. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator.

Hi Bobbie – I tried a recipe for Chick Pea Stew a while back that I’m pretty sure came from you. I loved it but now can’t find it. If it did come from you, I would appreciate it if you could resend it. Thanks! Judy
Here ya go, Judy! https://bobbiesbestrecipes.com/tag/vegetable-stew/
It’s actually from Annabel Cohen, but I make it and have passed it on several times!
IS THE COMPOTE USUALLY SERVED WARMED OR COLD?
I serve it out of the fridge or at room temperature — but you could serve it warm as a sort of soup!
