Try this maple fruit compote recipe for a refreshing way to spice up your fruits. Ginger and toasted nuts give it extra flavor.
Serves: 4
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 2-3 medium apples
- 2-3 medium peaches or pears
- 1/3 cup filtered water
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1 medium lemon (zested and freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (I prefer Celyon cinnamon)
- 1 cup walnuts or nuts of your choice (chopped)
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger (peeled and minced)
- 2 tablespoons raw, local honey
Directions
Wash, core and chop fruit into slices or chunks.
Place in a large saucepan with 1/3 cup of water. Add the maple syrup and raisins.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
Add zest, juice and cinnamon. Cook for another 10 minutes, until soft.
While fruit is cooking, place chopped nuts in a skillet over medium heat and toast, stirring often, for 5 minutes.
Drizzle honey over the nuts and add ginger but keep stirring because the honey can easily burn.
Top warm fruit with toasted nuts and enjoy the fruit compote!
