Chocolate Panna Cotta with Port- and Balsamic-Glazed Cherries
Port wine and balsamic vinegar deepen the fresh fruit flavors in the cherry sauce. Be sure to get started at least one day ahead; the panna cotta custards must chill for 24 hours before serving.
Grapefruit, Ginger, and Star Anise Compote
Try this for breakfast with a side of yogurt or for dessert with gingersnap cookies.
Cherry-Apricot Compote
(COMPOSTA DI CILIEGE E ALBICOCCHE)
Delicious with the Rice Pudding Cake or with biscotti or vanilla ice cream.
Orange and Kiwi Compote with Toasted Almonds
Oranges and kiwis are among the fruits highest in calcium; almonds are the nuts with the most. This is a light and refreshing finish to any meal.
Caramel-Almond Torte with Spiced Mango Compote
The torte and compote are each great on their own, if you have time to make only one of them. A kosher-for-Passover sorbet would be nice with this dessert.
