Winter Fruit And Quinoa Parfait With Spiced Cider Maple Syrup

• Parfait Ingredients
• 2/3 cup cooked quinoa (I used red quinoa)
• 2/3 cup pomegranate seeds (about 1 medium fruit)
• 1 Fuyu persimmon, sliced thinly
• 1/2 cup cooked butternut squash, diced
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries, apricots, or raisins
• Handful toasted almonds or pecans to top
• Syrup Ingredients
• 1 cup apple cider
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• cinnamon to taste

1. To make the syrup, combine cider and maple in a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil and boil until the mixture has reduced to a syrup-y consistency. Note: you'll have syrup left over.
2. Assemble the parfaits in short, wide glasses by alternating layers of squash, persimmon, pomegranate, cranberries, and quinoa. (You can also simply toss everything into a bowl as a salad). Drizzle with syrup to taste.
