Ingredients:

1 cup strawberries
150g
1 pear
180g
2 cups pineapple
330g
1 orange
130g
1 cup cherries
150g
1/4 cup orange juice
60g
8 oz dried plums (prunes)
230g
4 oz dried coconut meat
110g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Fresh Fruits:
- Strawberries: Hull and halve the strawberries.
- Pear: Core and chop the pear into bite-sized pieces.
- Pineapple: Chop the pineapple into bite-sized pieces.
- Orange: Peel the orange and segment it, removing any seeds.
- Cherries: Pit the cherries.
2. Combine Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared strawberries, pear, pineapple, orange segments, and cherries.

3. Add Orange Juice:
- Pour the 1/4 cup of orange juice over the fresh fruit mixture. Gently toss to ensure the fruit is evenly coated with the juice which helps in maintaining the color and adding flavor to the fruits.
4. Prepare Dried Fruits:
- Dried Plums (Prunes): Chop the prunes into small pieces and add them to the bowl.
- Dried Coconut Meat: Shred or finely chop the dried coconut meat and add it to the bowl.
5. Mix the Compote:
- Using a large spoon, gently mix all the ingredients until they are well combined. Make sure that the dried fruits are evenly distributed throughout the fresh fruit mixture.
6. Rest and Marinate:
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let the compote rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to blend together beautifully.
7. Serve:
- After marinating, give the compote a final gentle stir before serving. Enjoy it cold as a refreshing dessert, snack, or even as a topping for yogurt, oatmeal, or pancakes.

Tips:

- Choose ripe, high-quality fruits for the best flavor and texture.

- Feel free to adjust the quantity of orange juice based on the sweetness of the fruits and your personal preference.

- For a thicker compote, cook the mixture for a few extra minutes to allow more liquid to evaporate.

- Experiment with other fruits and berries to create your own unique combinations.

- Store leftover compote in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

- Serve the compote warm or cold, depending on your preference and the accompanying dish.
