Fruit Compote

In the summer,fruit is a refreshing way to jazz up your breakfasts and lunches.This recipe is one I have adapted from one my neighbor and friend Phyllis gave to me.I have kept it for years.She served it to me one summer when we were without power for several days.

Ingredients:

3 grapefruit peeled and broken into sections
1/2 cup of orange marmalade
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups fresh cranberries
2 bananas sliced

Preparation:

Remove membranes from sectioned grapefruit,collecting any juice that runs off
Set aside
In a small saucepan,add grapefruit juice and enough water to make 1 cup,then add sugar  and orange marmalade.
Boil mixture until sugar is dissolved
Add in the cranberries and boil entire mixture until the cranberries pop,about 10 minutes
Cool mixture
Put prepared grapefruit in a dish.A nice compote dish would enhance the presentation.
Pour cooled mixture over grapefruit
Add sliced bananas and serve
