1. Place the figs, apricots, prunes, cranberries, raisins, and golden raisins into a bowl.
2. Pour in just enough water to cover. Cover the bowl and soak overnight, at least 8 hours.
3. Pour the fruit with the soaking water into a saucepan. Stir in the pine nuts and honey. Bring to a simmer; cook, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is tender but still holds its shape, about 30 minutes.
4. Remove from the heat; return the fruit and liquid to the bowl, being careful not to break up the fruit. Cool to room temperature.
