We made this compote using Sunmaid fruit bits and omitting the fig, and made enough for just 1 pint. After the 30 day waiting period, we tried some over vanilla ice cream. The aroma and flavor of the rum is quite overpowering. If made again, we would reduce the rum amount by at least half and perhaps add some walnuts or other nuts. This is an okay compote. We feel that it may help to cook the ingredients down some and it would be ready (and perhaps less pundgent) after only a few days rather than a month. This may also be good served with a holiday dish like roast pork loin or baked ham.
