Sunday Dessert: Stewed Fruit variation 2

This time I combined the dried fruit: sliced prunes, cranberries, raisins, Rainier cherries, and mixed berries (from Trader Joes: blueberries, strawberries, and cherries) with the juice of one Meyer lemon, enough OJ to cover, cinnamon stick and some dried cloves. I let this mess sit all day, then simmered it for ~30 minutes before serving with a Meyer lemon wedge over ice cream

One cool part is that the pectin from the cranberries helps thicken the remaining liquid so that you end up with a nice sauce.

For variation 3, whenever that happens, I think I'll use the OJ/lemon juice from this iteration and add the fresh ginger from last time...
