Winter officially begins tomorrow, but the cold weather has already arrived (at least where I live). That\u2019s a good excuse to create meals designed to warm your heart and soul. Meals like today\u2019s recipe for Warm Oriental Fruit Compote.<\/p>\n

Before I made this recipe, I had never made a \u201ccompote\u201d before (defined as a dessert originating from 17th-century France made of whole or pieces of fruit in a sugar syrup). To be honest, I\u2019m not really a fan of the name \u201ccompote.\u201d To me, it sounds too much like \u201ccompost,\u201d which is decomposed organic matter used as a fertilizer in gardens. Not that appetizing, right?<\/p>\n

If I were to rename this dessert, I\u2019d call it Warm Watermelon Fruit Awesomeness. True, it doesn\u2019t sound as fancy as Warm Oriental Fruit Compote, but it\u2019s still a delicious winter dessert!<\/p>\n
