A beautiful side dish, this compote spotlights wonderful winter fruit like bananas, apples, oranges and pineapple. Of course, it can be made anytime of year. I'm sure you'll get as many smiles as I do when I bring out this refreshing salad at a potluck. —Donna Long, Searcy, Arkansas

This recipe is so easy and delicious. Anytime I need a quick salad to take I turn to this one. I always have requests for the recipe!

I have made this recipe many times and I like that I can make it a day ahead. When I do that, I often add the bananas and apples shortly before serving so they don't turn brown/get mushy. I have used different fruits easily, including fresh satsumas and grapes. Sometimes I add a pinch of cinnamon and/or cloves to the sauce. The last time I made it I used a small can of pineapple tidbits that didn't have enough juice, so I just added more orange juice to make the 3/4 cup. Very versatile.
