This would also make a nice dessert either on its own or over vanilla frozen yogurt.
Recipe information
Yield
Serves 6
Ingredients
3 cups cranberry, cranberry-apple or cranberry-raspberry juice
4 ounces dried apricots
4 ounces dried pears
4 ounces dried peaches
6 tablespoons honey
6 whole allspice berries
2 grapefruit
Preparation
Step 1
Combine first 6 ingredients in heavy medium saucepan. Simmer until fruit is tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer fruit to medium bowl using slotted spoon. Boil poaching liquid until syrupy, about 5 minutes. Pour syrup over fruit. Refrigerate until well chilled.
Step 2
Cut all peel and white pith from grapefruit. Working over bowl to catch juices, cut between membranes to remove sections. Add grapefruit to bowl. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover poached fruit and grapefruit separately and chill.) Drain grapefruit sections, reserving juice, and add to poached fruit. Thin syrup with grapefruit if desired and serve.
