Gma T's: Fruit Compote

My grandmother about 2 years ago, gave me her box of recipes. It is a small 2-drawer filing box and one side is completely full of recipes. Some of these recipes she has hand written and some are cut out of boxes, people have given to her, etc. My goal this year is to get as many of her favorites onto my Cooking Blog so that I can share them with our entire family and my Friend Camille.
