Nutrition Facts : ServingSize 1 serving

Tips:

  • Choose firm fruits: Softer fruits will break down more easily and lose their shape in the compote, so it's best to use firmer fruits like apples, pears, or pineapple.
  • Use a variety of fruits: Don't be afraid to mix and match different fruits to create a unique and flavorful compote. Some good combinations include apples and pears, pineapple and mango, or berries and citrus fruits.
  • Add spices and herbs: Spices and herbs can add a lot of flavor to your compote. Try adding a cinnamon stick, a star anise pod, or a few cloves. You could also add some fresh mint or basil.
  • Cook the compote slowly: Cooking the compote slowly will help to preserve the fruit's flavor and texture. Simmer the compote over low heat for at least 30 minutes, or until the fruit is tender.
  • Let the compote cool before serving: Once the compote is cooked, let it cool slightly before serving. This will help to thicken the compote and allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Curried fruit compote is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. It can be served as a side dish, a dessert, or even a breakfast topping. It's also a great way to use up leftover fruit. So next time you have some extra fruit on hand, give this curried fruit compote recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
