SPICED RED FRUIT COMPOTE.

Ingredients.....4 ripe red plums, halved, 2 cups of fresh strawberies, halved, 1 and 3/4 of a cup of fresh raspberries, 2 tbs of muscovado sugar, 2 tbs of cold water, 1 cinnamon stick, 6 cloves, 3 pieces of star anise, Greek style yoghurt to serve. Place all the ingredients, except the yoghurt into a large saucepan. Heat gently, without boiling, until the sugar dissolves and the fruit juices run.
