This compote, which calls for frozen fruit, will bring you a taste of summer no matter what the weather outside is like.
Place all ingredients into six- or eight-quart pot. Bring to a boil over a medium flame.
Lower flame and simmer for half an hour. Stir once or twice during cooking.
Cool and refrigerate. Serve cold.
Tips:
Make sure to lower the flame under the compote when it comes to a boil; otherwise, it will boil up and overflow. Keep this in mind any time that you are cooking fruit.
Variations:
To add a bit of tart flavor to this classic Swiss compote recipe, pour in 1/4 cup lemon juice before cooking. To add sweetness, mix in 1/4 cup or more (to taste) of sugar or Splenda any time during or after the cooking process.
