Four-Fruit Compote

Fruit sounds wonderful after all the sweets of the holidays. Earlier this month I was looking for a fruit salad recipe to make for a family birthday party, and came across this one tucked away in my large collection of recipes. I had not made it for quite a few years. And now I wonder how I could have forgotten it - it was so refreshing to make, and also to enjoy together with the pulled pork sandwich meal that a daughter prepared for her son's 5 year-old birthday party.
