Compote Of Fruit With Rice Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Compote Of Fruit With Rice Recipe, first prepare one-third of the boiled rice recipe.

Prepare a fruit dressing of the following ingredients:

1/4 cup pineapple juice

3/4 cup boiling water

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 tablespoon cornstarch

Braid the cornstarch in a little cold water. Stir into the boiling water, and cook slowly an hour or more in a double boiler. Add the sugar, and the pineapple juice, and reheat. Add one-half cup of diced pineapple, eight to ten California cherries--canned or fresh--cut in small pieces, one-quarter cup diced bananas and two tablespoons lemon juice.

Malaga grapes may be used in place of the cherries if desired.

Serve a spoon of steamed rice in a stemmed compote dish, and on top of it place a generous spoon of the fruit compote.
