DIRECTIONS
1. Combine 3 cups water with spices in a medium pot over medium-high heat. (If star anise and cardamom are not available you can substitute 4 cloves or a large pinch of powdered nutmeg.)
2. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add fruit and sugar, return mixture to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes (for firmer fruit, reduce to 5 minutes). The fruit should be just covered by the liquid; if necessary add an additional 1/2 cup water.
3. Serve hot, room temperature or cold with about a 1/4 cup of the poaching liquid poured over each serving. Makes 4 servings
