Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound prunes (pitted)
  • 5-6 dried apples/pears
  • 5½ cups water
  • 6 cloves
  • 1 short cinnamon stick
  • 0.35 ounces fresh ginger piece (about 1.5 cm long, peeled)
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg and allspice (each)
  • ½ orange, peel only
  • 1½ tablespoons sugar (or to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instruction

  • Place all the ingredients (not the lemon juice) in a medium sized pot, cover and bring to the boil. Lower the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the fruit have softened and doubled in size, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove from the heat, add the lemon juice and adjust the sweetness if needed. Set aside to cool or serve hot. You can separate the fruit from the liquid before serving but this is optional. You can serve the kompot using a ladle or transfer it into a jug.
