PERFECT POACHED FRUIT
Steps:
- Place the vin santo, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, vanilla bean, and zests in a large, shallow saucepan with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Peel the pears, leaving the stems intact, and scoop out the seeds from the bottom with an apple corer or melon baller. Lay half the pears on their sides in the poaching liquid and simmer for 20 minutes, carefully turning the pears once with a spoon. Remove with a slotted spoon. Poach the remaining pears in the same liquid. Snip off the hard stems from the figs with scissors. Add the figs, apricots, prunes, and the first batch of poached pears and simmer 5 to 10 more minutes, until the pears and the dried fruit are all tender.
- Chill the pears, dried fruit, zests, and poaching liquid. Remove the cinnamon, cloves, and vanilla bean before serving if you like.

BUTTER-POACHED STONE FRUIT
Stone fruit is summer in your hand. To me, there isn't a better unmessed-with food than a good, ripe peach. Still, stone fruit can be fun to play around with, and a recipe for one kind is a recipe for almost all. Peaches, nectarines, apricots, plums, mangoes and cherries all respond similarly to sautéing, poaching, macerating, grilling, roasting and drying. And once cooked, stone fruit goes with just about everything. The length of cooking time will vary, depending mostly on the quality and ripeness of the fruit. Peel it if you like, or leave the skin on to retain texture and extra flavor. (Peeled fruit will cook through faster.) To peel, plunge fruit into boiling water for 10 to 20 seconds to loosen the skin, then slip it off. When you pit the fruit - and you will need to remove the stones for each of these recipes - do so over a bowl to catch the juice, and use it instead of water where needed.

FRUIT, POACHED AND MARINATED
Fruit compotes make great compromise desserts; they're sweet, but not as sweet as sorbets, and like sorbets they don't require flour, butter or pastry skills. I didn't develop any kind of knack for pastry until I began collaborating with pastry chefs on their cookbooks, but for years I managed to round out my dinner parties with fruit-based desserts(though the children of my friend Clifford Wright used to roll their eyes when I brought dessert - "She doesn't bring dessert, she brings fruit," they'd say). I revisited some of those desserts this week, particularly various fruits poached in wine, and I still find them delightful. I find that I'm sometimes negligent about eating fruit in the colder months, but not when I have some wine-poached pears, bananas or prunes in the refrigerator. I am as likely to stir the fruit, with its luscious syrup, into my morning yogurt as to eat it for dessert, andthe compotes are good keepers. Early spring is an in-between time for fruit. Stone fruits aren't ready yet and it's not really apple, pear or citrus season either, though all of those fall-winter fruits are still available. I poached pears in red wine and bananas in white wine, and used dried fruits for two of my compotes, prunes poached in red wine and a dried-fruit compote to which I also added a fresh apple and pear. For the last compote of the week I combined blood oranges and pink grapefruit in arefreshing citrus-caramel syrup, and topped the fruit with pomegranate seeds. Even if my friend's kids wouldn't agree, this was definitely dessert. Bananas Poached in Vanilla-Scented Chardonnay Summary:Don't overcook the bananas in this easy dish, and you'll be rewarded with a fragrant, delicious dessert. I am usually not one forbananas in desserts, but this, if you're careful not to overcook the bananas, is heavenly. Years ago, in the early days of my career as a vegetarian caterer, I made it often; it was one of my most requested desserts. These days I'm as likely to spoon some of the bananas with their fragrant syrup into a bowl of morning yogurt as I am to serve it after a meal.

Steps:
- Pour chardonnay into a medium saucepan. Using the tip of a paring knife, scrape seeds from vanilla bean halves into wine and add pods. Add honey, cinnamon stick, raisins or currants, and dried apples and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, fill a bowl with water and add lemon juice. Peel bananas; cut them in half lengthwise and then in 2-inch pieces, and immediately place in the acidulated water. (This prevents bananas from discoloring.)
- Drain bananas and add to simmering wine. Add nutmeg. Returnmixture to a simmer, cover and simmer 5 more minutes. Remove from heat. Add almonds. Remove cinnamon stick and if you wish, add a little more nutmeg. Serve warm, topped with whipped cream or plain yogurt if desired.
