Any-Fruit Compote
Description
The Charter School kitchen team regularly makes compote with rescued fruit to serve over yogurt or French toast. It’s a fantastic way to use up fruit that has seen better days.
Instructions
- Place the fruit in a small pan or pot over medium heat with a few splashes of water. (Small fruit like berries can go in whole, but if the fruit is larger, like peaches, chop into bite-size pieces.) Cook, stirring, for about 10 minutes until the fruit softens.
- Use a masher or fork to break the fruit down and help it cook faster. You can keep the compote chunky or keep mashing for a smoother consistency. Add a squeeze of lemon for a pop of acidity and to balance the sweetness. Store covered in the refrigerator.
