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.

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups water
1 cup sugar
1 pound mixed dried fruits (such as prunes, pears, apricots, peaches, apples and figs), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup sweet white wine (such as Johannisberg Riesling)
1 orange, unpeeled, thinly sliced
1 lemon, unpeeled, thinly sliced
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup dried cherries, cranberries or currants
8 whole cloves
4 cinnamon sticks
1 cup seedless grapes

Steps:

  • Combine 3 cups water and sugar in heavy large saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Add mixed dried fruits, white wine, orange, lemon, raisins, dried cherries, cloves and cinnamon sticks. Simmer compote until fruits are tender and liquid is reduced to syrup, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Mix in grapes. Cool compote to room temperature; cover tightly and refrigerate. (Can be prepared up to 3 days ahead. Keep refrigerated.) Spoon compote into stemmed goblets and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh fruits: Fresh fruits are more flavorful and have a better texture than canned or frozen fruits. If you can't find fresh fruits, you can use frozen fruits that have been thawed and drained.
  • Choose a variety of fruits: The more variety of fruits you use, the more flavorful your compote will be. Some good combinations include apples, pears, plums, apricots, peaches, berries, and cherries.
  • Use a good quality wine: The wine you use will significantly impact the flavor of your compote. Choose a wine that you enjoy drinking and that will complement the flavors of the fruits you are using.
  • Don't overcook the fruits: Overcooked fruits will lose their flavor and texture. Cook the fruits until they are just tender.
  • Add spices to taste: Spices can add depth and flavor to your compote. Some good choices include cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
  • Serve the compote warm or cold: Compote can be served warm or cold. Warm compote is a great dessert on a cold day, while cold compote is a refreshing treat on a hot day.

Conclusion:

Polish Twelve Fruit Compote is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed all year round. It is easy to make and can be customized to your taste. You can use different fruits, spices, and wine to create a compote that is perfect for any occasion.
