Provided by morgainegeiser

Categories     Dessert

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup dried apricot halves
1/2 cup pitted prune
1/2 cup raisins
3 cups water
1/4 cup sugar
1 (2 inch) cinnamon sticks
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon orange extract
ground allspice, if desired (optional)

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine all ingredients, except orange extract. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered, 20 minutes.
  • Remove and discard cinnamon stick.
  • Stir in orange extract.
  • Serve hot or cold.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fruit: Use ripe, firm fruit that is free of blemishes. Apricots and apples are a classic combination, but you can also use other fruits such as peaches, plums, or berries.
  • Peel and core the fruit: This will help the compote to cook evenly. If you are using apples, you can also peel and core them using an apple peeler/corer.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help to prevent the compote from burning.
  • Add sugar to taste: The amount of sugar you add will depend on the sweetness of the fruit. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Simmer the compote gently: This will help to preserve the fruit's flavor and texture.
  • Let the compote cool completely: This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Apricot apple compote is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed on its own or used as a topping for pancakes, waffles, yogurt, or ice cream. It is also a great way to use up ripe fruit. With its sweet and tart flavor, apricot apple compote is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
