A Quick Summer Fruit Compote.
A vibrant summer fruit compote made with peaches, plums, cherries, and a splash of Nyarai Cellars Origin Wine Spritzer. Perfect as a side with smoked duck or as a topping for desserts, pancakes, and more.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb peaches seeded, sliced
- 1 lb plums seeded, sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cherries seeded
- 1 cardamom pod
- 2 pieces orange peel 1-inch slices
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 cup Origin Wine Spritzer Nyarai Cellars
- Tools
Instructions
- Wash the peaches, plums, and cherries thoroughly. Remove the seeds and slice the fruits into large, chunky pieces for a rustic texture.
- Place the sliced fruits into a deep saucepan.
- Add the salt, cardamom pod, orange peel, lemon juice, honey, and Origin Wine Spritzer to the saucepan with the fruits.
- Turn the stove to medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to combine all the flavors.
- Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it cook uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the fruits soften and the juices thicken into a compote.
- Before serving, remove the cardamom pod and orange peel. If you added bay leaves or ginger slices, be sure to remove those as well.
- Serve warm or cool. This compote pairs beautifully with smoked duck, much like cranberry sauce with roasted turkey. It also makes a delicious topping for ice cream, pastries, pancakes, and waffles.
Notes
Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Optional: Add a pinch of ground cinnamon and nutmeg for extra warmth, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a subtle heat.
