Fruits compote is a mixture of fruits or berries with a lot of sugar and different spices. The word compote comes from French and means ‘mixture’. It is a French word as it was first made and eaten in France. Later, it started to be consumed in England as well and from there it has rapidly reached the whole world. However, not everyone is familiar with this dish, but for the Jewish cuisine, it is a popular dessert as it does not include any diary products.
The making of a compote is very easy. All you have to do is choose your favourite fruits or berries, bring them to boil and add a lot of sugar. You could also add some vanilla extract or cinnamon stick while it’s still boiling. To add a refreshing and delicious taste, you could also add grated coconut or orange peel on top. Serve it as it is, or on top of some yogurt or whipped cream. It can also be eaten with a piece of cake, on pancakes or with biscuits.
