Stewed fruit recipe: pears, dates and dried apricots

It’s been a while since I wanted to test this idea of a stewed fruit recipe. These are pears, dates and dried apricots which are quickly poached in a little honey syrup that  has been flavored with cinnamon, fresh ginger and orange blossom water. The result is very nice when eaten either warm or cold.
