Hi Rochsan- I made your compote to go over some ice cream and it was so tangy and fresh tasting (I had the leftovers on healthy plain yogurt, too!). I cooked the mixture in my pressure cooker and it was done fast, too. Bon Appetit has the BEST holiday recipes. Thanks for posting. <br/>Roxygirl

I love how cooking brings people together, whether it's sharing recipes or sharing a special meal. My sister and I love to talk recipes, and she is great at researching any recipe questions and hunting down recipes. My whole family enjoys cooking, so holidays are particularly fun when we're all cooking together. I teach social studies, and I incorporate historical recipes and foods into my lessons about culture. Cooking connects the past and present. I've realized how relaxing cooking is to me, so despite being very busy with teaching, I make time to cook.
