From a 1992 Jewish Calendar. This a good Passover dessert if you like macaroons. The dried fruits must soak overnight so plan ahead! Time doesn't include this overnight soaking.

This was so delicious! First of all, I used a combination of dried apricots, dates, raisins and dried cranberries for the dried fruits. For the macaroons, I used chocolate because I love chocolate, and I've always found that apricots and raisins go well with chocolate, and in this case, it's also true. The cinnamon and cloves just add to the sweetness of the macaroon compote, which is just fine with me! Sadly, though, I cannot tell you if this refrigerates well overnight, because it never lasted that long, which is fine, because I plan to make more! :)1Reply
