This fruit compote is a delicious way to use your fresh fruit. Serve warm over vanilla ice cream or enjoy cold on a hot summer afternoon. Ingredients:
3 ripe granny smith apples |
3 ripe bartlett pears |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 to 3 tbsp. fresh lemon juice |
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 cup sliced fresh plums (2 plums) |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Place whole apples and pears in a large heat-resistant bowl, and cover with boiling water. Let stand 10 minutes, turning fruit a few times. Drain; peel fruit, and cut into chunks.
2. Stir together apples, pears, sugar, 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, and cinnamon in a 3 1/2-qt. saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring often. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 8 minutes or until tender.
3. Gently stir in plums, and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until plums are tender. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla, and, if desired, an additional 1 Tbsp. lemon juice. Serve warm or cold.
