Ingredients

  • 1 8-oz. pkg. mixed dried fruits, diced
  • 1 cup dried pineapple chunks, cut in half
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh orange juice
  • 1/4 cup Sucanat

Put the dried fruits in a large saucepan, and cover with the boiling water. Set aside for 25 minutes, and drain in a wire mesh colander.

Cover, and cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool.

Toast the almonds in a dry saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring and shaking the pan until the almonds are lightly browned.

Spoon fruit compote over vanilla soy “ice cream,” and garnish with toasted almonds.
