Fruit Compote
Recipe from Bo’s Kitchen & Bar Room in New York City
What you’ll need:
2 cups fruit (I used peaches, but apples, plums, pears, and cranberries all work)
½ cup sugar
100 ml red wine (between a third and a half cup)
pinch cinnamon
peel from half an orange
juice from one lemon
How to make it:
1. Halve and pit the fruit (if using pitted fruit). Slice and toss with the sugar.
2. Caramelize the sugared fruit over medium heat in a sauce pan. Then, pour over the red wine to deglaze. Reduce heat and simmer to reduce by half.
3. Stir in cinnamon and orange peel, and simmer for 8-10 more minutes.
4. Remove orange peel and add lemon juice to taste
