I don't know what the problem was with this compote... Maybe it was the excess of spices? Not sure, but I made it for the New Year's Eve party and very few people touched it--and I found leftovers in many dishes. I wonder if removing the curry would help.

Made your recipe as directed, since I had no idea at all of how it should taste! It all came together very quickly & this combo of fruits is very, very nice indeed! I was a little aprehensive about the grapefruit, but not to worry! This is definitely a compote I'd enjoy making again, especially to include as part of a holiday gift basket! Thanks for sharing it!
