A beautiful side dish, this compote spotlights bananas, apples, oranges and pineapple. I like that it can be made at any time of the year. I'm sure you'll get as many smiles as I do when I bring out this refreshing salad. —Donna Long, Searcy, Arkansas

Ingredients

  • 1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/3 cup orange juice

  • 1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained
  • 3 to 4 medium apples, chopped
