Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound (16 ounces) fresh or frozen fruit (for the photos, I used fresh strawberries, peaches, and frozen blueberries)
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
Dash of salt
See optional flavoring ideas given above recipe

Steps:

  • To prepare the fruit: If you're using fresh strawberries or peaches, cut them into thin slices. If you're using small berries like blueberries or raspberries, you can use them whole. If you're using frozen fruit, no need to defrost or slice them before using.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine your fruit of choice, sweetener of choice and dash of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. This will take about 5 minutes for fresh fruit or 10 minutes for frozen fruit.
  • Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium. If you're using chunky fruit or prefer a smoother consistency, mash the fruit with a potato masher or serving fork until it reaches your desired consistency. Continue simmering, stirring often, until the compote has condensed to about half of its original volume, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove the compote from the heat. I'm generally satisfied with my compote at this point, but if the compote isn't sweet enough for your liking, you can stir in a more sweetener, to taste. If you'd like it to be more smooth, mash it some more.
  • Let the compote cool for a few minutes before serving. Allow leftover compote to cool completely before covering and refrigerating for up to 10 days.

Time 55m

Yield 6 cups, 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups water
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 vanilla bean, split in half
1 tablespoon Calvados or brandy
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch salt
8 large Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and cubed

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, combine the water, sugar, vanilla bean and seeds, Calvados, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt and bring to a boil. Boil gently until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the apples and return to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the apples are very tender and the mixture thickens, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and remove the vanilla bean pods. Let cool to room temperature before serving. (The mixture will thicken as it cools.) Serve as an accompaniment to breakfast items, such as toast, French toast, waffles, pancakes, or as a topping for ice cream or pound cakes.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, ripe apples that are good for baking, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Peel and core the apples before cooking. This will help the compote to cook evenly and prevent the skins from becoming tough.
  • Add a variety of spices to the compote to enhance the flavor. Common spices used in apple compote include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
  • You can also add other ingredients to the compote, such as raisins, cranberries, or chopped nuts.
  • Cook the compote over low heat until the apples are tender and the compote has thickened. This will take about 30 minutes.
  • Apple compote can be served warm or cold. It can be used as a topping for pancakes, waffles, yogurt, or ice cream.

Conclusion:
