Few things are as simple as prepare a compote. The most traditional is apple, which is already part of our cookbook. However, other fruits such as pears, apples, plums or peaches, among others, can be added to this, making it richer in flavors. We have done that today.
Compote apple, pears and plums that we prepare today requires few more ingredients, in addition to the fruit itself. It is easy to prepare and fast; in just over 15-20 minutes the fruit will be tender and ready to sink your teeth into. You can take it warm, although you may want more now in summer to put it in the fridge and eat it very cool with a scoop of ice cream.
- 5 apples (pippin type)
- 3 pears
- 4 claudian plums
- 4-5 tablespoons of sugar
- 2 water glasses
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 lemon peel
- We wash the fruit. We peel the apples and pears and we cut the fruit into pieces, not too big, not too small, discarding the heart.
- We put the pieces in a low casserole with the sugar, the lemon peel, the cinnamon stick and the two glasses of water.
- Cook over medium heat 15 minutes or until we see that the first pieces of apple begin to fall apart. There are those who like the compote whole, with chunks, and those who like it more undone. Make it to your liking!
- We serve in a fountain and we let warm or cool.
- We serve with a little cinnamon powder (optional).
