Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium, cored and sliced Apples
- 2 medium, cored and sliced Pears
- 6 medium, pitted and halved Plums
- 1 cup Dried apricots
- 1 cup Dried figs
- 1 Cinnamon stick
- 5 Whole cloves
- 10 cups Filtered water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Fresh orange zest
Instructions
Prepare the fruits: Wash the fresh fruits thoroughly. Core and slice the apples and pears into wedges, pit and halve the plums, and set them aside.
In a large pot, combine the fresh fruits (apples, pears, and plums) with the dried apricots and figs.
Add the cinnamon stick and whole cloves to the pot.
Pour 10 cups of filtered water into the pot, ensuring the fruits are fully submerged in the liquid.
Place the pot on the stove over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors of the fruits and spices to meld together.
After simmering, remove the pot from the heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice and orange zest.
Allow the kompot to cool slightly before straining. Use a fine-mesh strainer to separate the liquid from the cooked fruits and spices. Discard the cinnamon stick and whole cloves.
Transfer the strained liquid to a large pitcher or storage jars. The kompot can be served warm or chilled, depending on your preference.
Optional: Reserve the softened cooked fruits to enjoy as a naturally sweet snack or dessert.
