Tropical compote
This is comfort food with a tropical beat. If I had a fireplace and if it were cold outside (does 50° count?), this is what I'd have by the fire. It's a great side dish or even a dessert for cooler weather. And when a dish can be either a side or dessert, it's a great dish (and healthy, too)! This is a flexible recipe; you can add or subtract fruit as desired or as the kitchen counter fruit bowl demands.
