French Food Friday - Comforting Apple Compote
It is apple season in SW France and I love cooked apple whether it be a warm apple crumble, baked and stuffed, an apple tart or a comforting apple compote.
The last time I made apple compote, French Boyfriend munched his way through a whole jar in one sitting, so much for me having it with my morning muesli...
Comforting Apple Compote
Ingredients3 locally grown organic apples (sweet variation are best)1 handful raisins/sultanas1 handlful almonds without skin1/2 tsp cinnamon1/4 tsp nutmeg1/2 tsp cardamom 1/4 tsp powder or grated gingerCane sugar (optional ? to taste)2 tsp butter
Method Soak the sultanas and the almonds in two separate bowls. Cut the apples in small cubes. In a pot heat the butter. Add the spices and stir for one minute, then add the apples and sultanas. Stir for 4-5 minutes until fraguant and slightly caramelised. Add enough hot water to just cover the fruits. Bring to a boil. Lower the flame and let to simmer for 15min with a closed lid. Remove from the fire, leave to cool a few minutes. Blend if you wish to obtain a smooth consistency ? adjusting the water content to taste. Serve the spiced apple compote warm over pancakes, with a biscuit or on its own, topped with chopped almonds. Bon Appetit! Leeann x
