Poaching Liquid For Fruits

Ingredients:

3 cups water

2 cups wine

2 cups sugar

3 cinnamon sticks

Zest from ½ orange

2 Tbs. vanilla

 Method:

Combine the ingredients and bring to a boil. Add the pealed fruit and simmer on low for 45 minutes to 1 ¼ hour or until the fruit has softened and a small knife inserted does not get any resistance. Cool in poaching liquid or serve warm. Fruits can be soaked overnight in cranberry juice concentrate for a bold color. Serve with sauce or filled with pastry cream.
