Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium (peeled, cored, and diced) Apples
- 2 medium (peeled, cored, and diced) Pears
- 1 cup (hulled and halved) Fresh strawberries
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 whole Cinnamon stick
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon (freshly grated) Lemon zest
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the diced apples, diced pears, fresh orange juice, and water.
Add the honey, cinnamon stick, and freshly grated lemon zest to the saucepan. Stir everything to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the strawberries and blueberries to the saucepan, gently stirring to incorporate them with the other ingredients.
Continue to simmer the mixture for another 8-10 minutes, or until the fruits are tender but not mushy. Stir occasionally to avoid sticking.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Discard the cinnamon stick and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the compote to cool slightly. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled as a side dish or a topping for yogurt, pancakes, or ice cream.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
