Rum is often used to flavor desserts in Italy. Dark rum has a deeper flavor than light rum. Substitute another liqueur or a sweet wine such as Marsala for the rum in this recipe if you like. Or make a nonalcoholic version with orange or apple juice.
_ firm ripe pears, peeled and cored
_ golden delicious or Granny Smith apple, peeled and cored
_ cup pitted prunes
_ cup dried figs, stem ends removed
___ cup dried pitted apricot
___ cup dark raisins
___ cup sugar
_ strips lemon zest (2-inch each)
_ cup water
___ cup dark rum
1 Cut the pears and apple into 8 wedges. Cut the wedges into bite-size pieces.
2 Combine all of the ingredients in a large saucepan. Cover and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook until the fresh fruits are tender and the dried fruits are plump, about 20 minutes. Add a little more water if they seem dry.
3 Let cool slightly before serving or cover and refrigerate up to 3 days.
