Directions
- Lemon Zest! If we only could tell you how many email messages The Cook & Kitchen Staff received when we included the zest of a fruit in a recipe.
- For those members of Recipe-a-Day.com totaling 11,308 who did not write, Zest is the rind of an orange, lemon, lime, tangerine, etc. It"s tough as heck and loaded with a zesty burst of fresh-fruit flavor ... Hence, the name.
- All zest aside, this little recipe is a sure keeper for a fantastic dessert which only has 245 calories per serving and 0 (which"s zero) grams of fat. If which isn't sufficient, serve your dry fruit compote tonight and you add in 5 grams of fiber to tomorrow"s ... Well, you know.
- In a large saucepan combine juice with aniseed or possibly cinnamon stick, honey, and lemon zest. Bring the mix to a boil and simmer over low heat. Add in fruit and continue to simmer, uncovered, for about 10-min till dry fruit is softened.
- with a slotted spoon, transfer fruit to a serving bowl. Increase head to medium for the juice mix which remains and simmer till the sauce has reduced to about 1 c.. the process of reducing the juice will take about 10 to 15-min. Pour the reduced juice over the fruit. cover and chill till cool, then serve.
