G'day all,
Being a chef I have to put my 2 bob in here, As I undertand a compote can either be served as a meal or a drink.
Fresh fruits more so I use for my dishes and presentations because of the natural flavours and sugar content.
Dried fruits are "normally" used in drinks although I have used some glace fruits in some puddings as a compote,
With a sherry and creme fraiche base.
Anyone wanting to make anything with fruit that is not in season can be purchased frozen as an alternative...But
when doing this make sure there is no ice at all and allow to drain in a collander or sift.
Place all ingredients into a saucepan- no sugar (you will find it already has a high sugar content after they add it)
Simply bring to a simmer and add anything you may want say some other fruits or herbs such as" mint ".
Add any alchohol you may want at this stage and let it thicken or (reduce) to your desired consistency.
Allow to cool and serve with a meal or nice fruit filled ice-cream or even maybe decorate your plate !!
Or leave it hot and serve with ice-cream or cream or as a sauce over your fish !!!
Thanks all Robert34

I had litres of the Ukrainian Red Current compote at Christmas and New Year while in Chernivsty, it was served with every meal along with Gorilka of course :) I quite liked it, just a little sweet for me though.
With the Christmas meal they served a different version, I think it was a mixed fruit compote? they told me they only have it that time of year.
