Scale
- 2 apples (peeled, cored and sliced into 1/2-inch wedges)
- 2 cup strawberries (hulled and sliced in half)
- 6 cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup apple cider (alcohol-free)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Put apples and strawberries in a bowl and add cloves, ground ginger, cinnamon, salt and sugar. Mix well with a spoon and set aside.
- In a deep skillet or saucepan over medium heat, add the butter, and once the butter has melted, add the fruit mixture. Stir and cook for 6-7 minutes, or until the fruit has caramelized.
- Add apple cider, stir and lower heat to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until fruit is tender. You may need to add a little water if the mixture looks dry (start with 2 tablespoons and add more if needed).
- Turn the heat off, add lemon juice and stir. Let the compote cool until it’s still warm but cool enough to the touch.
