What To Use Compote For?
I love foods that I can make and use for a number of things and compote is one of those foods. It can be used as a mix in/topper for yogurt, custard, or ice cream, brownies, cheesecake, pound cake, waffles, pancakes, or french toast.
Fruit compote is also so delicious spread on top of a cracker along with your favorite cheese.
Optional Add-ins
- You can use fresh fruit if you’d prefer. Fresh berries and stone fruits are good options.
- You can replace the honey with maple syrup or granulated sugar for a vegan option.
- If you want to add some spice to your compote use cinnamon, cloves, ginger, or turmeric.
Expert Tips & Tricks
- You may only have to heat the fruit for 5 minutes before it releases juice.
- Use fresh lemon juice if possible.
- If you like a sweeter compote, you can always add more sugar after the compote has finished cooking
