FRUIT COMPOTE 
Absolutely delicious. Use unsweetened fruit for this. Pour over heavy cream and you can also serve it for dessert.

1 can pineapple slices
1 can peach halves
1 can apricots
1 can pear halves
1/2 c. apricot juice
4 tbsp. butter, melted
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. coarsely chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Drain fruit well, reserve apricot juice. Arrange dry fruit in baking dish. Cover with mixture of apricot juice (1/2 cup), melted butter and brown sugar. Sprinkle on walnuts; bake for 30 minutes until bubbly. Serve hot.

Variation: Use any of your favorite fruits esp. colorful ones. I sometimes use spiced apple rings or dark cherries.

Also instead of apricot juice, spread applesauce over fruit. Sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon and butter.
