Yogurt with Rosemary-Red Fruit Compote

Prepare yogurt cheese: Line a yogurt strainer, sieve or a small colander with three layers of 100%-cotton cheesecloth or a clean paper coffee filter. Suspend lined strainer, sieve or colander over a bowl. Spoon in plain yogurt. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours. Remove from refrigerator. Drain and discard liquid. Store yogurt cheese in refrigerator until compote is ready.

Prepare compote: In a medium saucepan, combine cherries, cranberries, the 1/3 cup pomegranate juice, the honey and the one sprig rosemary. Bring to boiling, stirring frequently; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, about 5 minutes or until cranberries start to pop.

In a small bowl, combine the 2 teaspoons pomegranate juice and the cornstarch. Add to berry mixture. Cook and stir until slightly thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Stir in raspberries. Cool for 10 minutes; discard rosemary sprig. Serve warm compote over yogurt cheese. If desired, garnish with additional fresh rosemary.
