🥮 ☕ 🤎
A compote is a dessert originating in 17th century France. The French believed that fruit cooked in sugar syrup balanced the humidity's effects on the body and led them to invent compotes. Recipes called for whole or pieces of mixed fruit in sugar syrup. The whole fruits are cooked in water with added sugar and spices. Add complimentary spices to the mixture depending on the kinds of fruit you choose. 🍊🍓🍋🍐🍑🫐🍍🍇
Fruit compote is often topped with whipped cream, cinnamon, or vanilla sugar. It is also sometimes prepared using dried fruits soaked in water with added alcohol. Kirsch, rum, or Frontignan are a few examples. 🥃🥄🍯🫙
