DRIED FIG, APRICOT, AND CHERRY COMPOTE

2½ cups water
1 cup sugar
2 cinnamon sticks, broken in half
1 (8 oz) package dried figs, stemmed, figs halved length wise
1/2 lb B&R Farms California Dried Apricots
1 cup dried tart cherries
3/4 cup brandy
3 tblsp chopped crystallized ginger

Combine water, sugar and cinnamon sticks in a large saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer 5 minutes.
Add figs and simmer, uncovered, 3 minutes. Mix in B&R Farms Dried Apricots, cherries and then brandy. Simmer uncovered until all the fruits are tender but still retain shape, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in crystallized ginger. Cool. Serve at room temperature or chill. Keeps 3 days in refrigerator.
