Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2000 ml water
- 3 medium apples
- 2 medium pears
- 4 fresh or dried apricot
- 150 grams strawberries
- 1 small lemon
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 3 cloves
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
Instructions
Wash all the fruits thoroughly under running water.
Peel the apples and pears if desired, then core and cut them into quarters.
Halve the apricots and remove the pits. If using dried apricots, just halve them.
Hull and roughly chop the strawberries.
Slice the lemon thinly, remove any seeds, leaving the peel intact.
In a large pot, combine the water, apples, pears, apricots, and strawberries.
Add the lemon slices, cinnamon stick, and cloves to the pot.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot partially, and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
After simmering, taste the kompot. If desired, stir in honey to sweeten the kompot, allowing it to melt completely.
Remove the pot from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Strain the kompot into a large jug using a fine sieve, pressing gently on the fruits to extract more juice.
Serve warm or chill in the refrigerator before serving. Can be garnished with fresh mint leaves for an added refreshing touch.
