FRUIT KOMPOT



Fruit Kompot image

A great way to use up overripe fruit, this invigorating Eastern European beverage is a little like a grown-up fruit punch. Peaches, nectarines, and plums are perfect but any combination of soft, fragrant fruit will work. Kompot is great as is, but you can spike it, too: Just add a splash of vodka or gin to the pitcher, or top off glasses with Champagne.
