Prune And Apple Compote Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped apples and turn to coat. Cook apples, stirring frequently, until golden in color, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Slowly stir maple syrup, water, brown sugar, raisins, and cinnamon into the apples. Reduce heat and simmer until a thick syrup forms, about 15 minutes.
• Remove from heat and let stand for several minutes to thicken. Serve hot, or refrigerate and serve cold.

Steps:

• In a large pot, combine the apples, pears, plums, 1/2 cup water, the honey, vanilla and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and cook for 30 minutes.
• Remove the lid and continue cooking until the syrup is reduced and the fruit is tender, another 30 minutes.
• Cool completely, cover and store in the fridge until ready to serve. Serve alone or on cake.

Steps:

• In a saucepot on medium-high heat, add the apples, orange juice, lemon juice, brown sugar and nutmeg. Simmer over medium heat until the apples are tender and the juices are thickened to a thin syrup, 10 to 12 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt.

Steps:

• Place apples and water in a heavy saucepan and stir over medium-high heat until the mixture is bubbling. Reduce heat to low and cover. Cook, stirring often, until the apples have cooked down but still have some texture, 15 to 20 minutes. Add sugar, lemon or lime juice, and spices, cover and simmer for another 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool, or serve warm or hot.

Steps:

• Peel apple, add to simmering water on stove.
• Add prunes, onion and allspice; cook until tender.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
• Using a sharp knife, score fat that covers the top of pork. Rub pork fat with salt, garlic, and half of the marjoram leaves. Set a roasting rack in a heavy-bottomed roasting pan; set pork on rack. Transfer to oven and roast for 30 minutes.
• Decrease oven temperature to 350 degrees, and continue roasting the pork until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the pork reaches 140 degrees, about 45 minutes more. Transfer pork to a cutting board, keep warm, and let rest 30 minutes.
• Pour any pan juices into a small bowl and whisk together with remaining marjoram; cover to keep warm and set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat apples and cloves in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring, until apples begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add Calvados, continue stirring until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Cover, and continue cooking apples, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender and most of the juices have evaporated, about 8 minutes.
• Remove apple mixture from heat and, using a potato masher, coarsely mash apples. Stir in sugar, if using.
• Thinly slice pork and drizzle over reserved pan juices and serve immediately with apples and carrots.

Steps:

• Cut large pieces of dried fruit into smaller pieces.
• Combine all of the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 5 minutes. Turn off heat and allow fruit to steep for 30 minutes or longer. Remove cinnamon stick and orange and lemon zest. Serve topped with whipped cream or yogurt if desired, or stir into your morning yogurt.

Steps:

• Soak the prunes overnight.
• The next morning put them into a pan with the water, sugar, honey, lemon peel and the spices.
• Simmer until the prunes are tender but not falling apart, about 20 minutes.
• Remove the lemon peel.
• Cool and stir in the Metaxa brandy.
• Serve with a dollop of greek yoghurt or sour cream on top and the lightest sprinkling of cinnamon.
