Ingredients:
2 cups sweet dessert wine, such as late-harvest gewurztraminer, late-harvest riesling, french sauternes or 2 cups muscat wine, de beaumes-de-v
1 cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 vanilla beans
1/2 cup golden raisins
5 seedless oranges
2 grapefruits ( see note)
3 kiwi fruits

Directions:
In a saucepan, combine the wine, orange juice and honey.
Split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise and, using the tip of a knife, scrape the seeds into the pan.
Add the pod and bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, until the liquid is reduced to about 1 cup, about 15 minutes.
Remove from the heat and stir in the raisins.
Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool.
Using a sharp knife, cut a thick slice off the top and bottom of each orange to reveal the flesh.
Then, standing each orange upright on a cutting surface, cut off the peel and white membrane in thick, wide strips.
Working with 1 orange at a time, hold the orange over a bowl and cut along either side of each segment to free it from the membrane, letting the segments drop into the bowl.
Repeat this same technique with the grapefruits, using the tip of the knife to remove any seeds.
Peel the kiwifruits.
Cut each into 8 wedges and add to the oranges and grapefruits.
Add the cooled liquid and raisins, removing the vanilla pod, and stir.
To serve, spoon the fruit into individual bowls.
