In a large bowl combine all of the dried fruit and add enough cold water to cover by an inch. Soak for 2 hours. Drain the mixture.

In a saucepan combine the fruit with the sugar, the lemon and orange zests, the lemon juice, and the water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer the mixture for 10 to 20 minutes, or until the fruit is tender. Remove the pan from the heat and let the compote cool.
