Grape, Blueberry and Apricot Compote

1/4 c White grape juice
1/4 c Dry white wine
1 tb Beehive Co honey*
1 Vanilla bean; split lengthwise
1/8 ts Freshly grated nutmeg
3/4 c Picked over blueberries
1/3 c Dried apricots; sliced thin
1 c Green seedless grapes; halved
1 tb Fresh lime juice; or to taste
1 ts Freshly grated lime zest

In a saucepan combine the grape juice, the wine, 1/4 cup water, the honey, the vanilla bean, and the nutmeg and boil the mixture for 2 minutes. Add the blueberries and the apricots and simmer the mixture for 1 minute.

Add the grapes and simmer the mixture for 2 minutes. Transfer the fruit with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Remove the vanilla bean, scrape the seeds into the syrup, and boil the syrup for 2 to 3 minutes, or until it is thickened slightly.

Stir in the lime juice and the lime zest and pour the syrup over the fruit. Chill the compote, covered, for at least 3 hours or overnight and serve it with ice cream if desired.
