Brandied Fruit Topping

This spirited fruit medley simmers raisins, prunes, and citrus with sugar into a light syrup, then folds in peaches, pineapple, and a splash of brandy for warmth and depth. Bright, jammy, and gently boozy, Brandied Fruit Topping is perfect for spooning over ice cream, pound cake, pancakes, or cheesecake for an elegant finish at dessert time.
