Recipe: Dried Fruit Compote with Yogurt, Nuts and Shaved Chocolate (low fat)

DRIED FRUIT COMPOTE WITH
YOGURT, NUTS AND SHAVED CHOCOLATE

1 cup pitted prunes, coarsely chopped
1 cup dried figs, coarsely chopped
1 cup dried pears, coarsely chopped
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup unsweetened apple juice
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
2 cups vanilla nonfat yogurt
1/4 cup shaved dark chocolate,* for garnish
1/4 cup finely chopped toasted walnuts, for garnish
Graham crackers or ginger snaps, for garnish

Place fruit in saucepan with juice. Simmer over low heat, stirring often until fruit is tender, about 10 minutes. Cool fruit to room temperature.

In individual clear serving glasses or bowls, spread 1/2 cup fruit evenly on bottom of each, followed by 1/4 cup layer of yogurt. Repeat layers once (ending with yogurt on top). Garnish with chocolate, nuts and graham cracker sections or ginger snaps.
*To shave chocolate, simply use a cheese slicer (not grater) to make shavings from a bar of dark chocolate.
