Dried fruits — such as apricots, figs, prunes and raisins — are all high in potassium, an important mineral in the battle against hypertension. Serve this compote for breakfast, brunch or dessert with a dollop of Vanilla Yogurt Topping.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pitted prunes
  • 1 cup dried Calimyrna figs
  • 1 cup dried apricots
