DRIED FRUIT COMPOTE - POLISH KOMPOT



Dried Fruit Compote - Polish Kompot image

Polish dried fruit compote is a dessert of stewed fruit eaten year-round in Poland, but it is especially popular in the fall and winter. It uses summer's bounty that has been preserved by drying, and then reconstituted with sugar, water and spices. It is a traditional Christmas Eve (wigilia) dessert and originally was made with 12 dried fruits to represent the 12 apostles. When made thicker, it's wonderful served on toast or ice cream. It's also a great edible gift, but it must be refrigerated. It keeps for about 1 week. Cooking time approximate. Courtesy of Barbara Rolek.

DRIED FRUIT COMPOTE WITH RUM



Dried Fruit Compote With Rum image

I no longer do much baking with rum & liqueurs, but once-upon-a-time this compote was well-received & most enjoyed! This is a great topping for various unfrosted cakes as well as for vanilla ice cream! The pint jars also make nice gifts! Obviously, the preparation time does not include the 30 days it takes to 'age'!! NOTE: The ingredients have been edited to decrease the amount of honey to use -- one thing I know for sure, everyone's sweet tooth is different!

Tips

  • Choose the right chamomile tea. Not all chamomile teas are created equal. For the best flavor, look for a tea that is made with organic, whole chamomile flowers. Avoid teas that contain additives or fillers.
  • Use fresh, high-quality fruit. The fruit you use for your compote should be ripe and flavorful. Avoid fruit that is bruised or damaged.
  • Simmer the compote for the right amount of time. The compote should be simmered until the fruit is tender but still holds its shape. Overcooked fruit will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Add honey or maple syrup to taste. If you like your compote a little sweeter, add honey or maple syrup to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice for a bit of tartness.
  • Serve the compote warm or cold. Chamomile dried fruit compote can be served warm or cold. It is a delicious addition to breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Conclusion

Chamomile dried fruit compote is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy the benefits of chamomile tea. It is also a versatile dish that can be served in a variety of ways. Whether you are looking for a refreshing breakfast option, a healthy snack, or a delicious dessert, chamomile dried fruit compote is a great choice.
