No party is complete without a cheese platter, and when I think of cheese my mind goes to compotes, especially during the holidays.

Compotes are flavorful and compliment many varieties of cheeses. Not only are they good as an appetizer, but also make a great snack for winter afternoon football games on TV, watched with friends.

You may not like all of these, but odds are you will, so enjoy.
