Port Cherry Compote
Tumblr media
It might be difficult to pit, freeze and save a few cups of cherries at the height of Summer, when they are ripe, juicy and delicious; but if you do, then you can make this delicious Port Cherry Compote in March --you can also absolutely buy frozen cherries!
Ingredients (makes about a cup):
1 cup frozen cherries of your liking (i prefer juicy dark cherries)
1/4 cup good quality White Port
In a small saucepan, combine frozen cherries and White Port.
Bring to a slow boil over medium heat.
Then, reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer, about 15 minutes, until the cherries have collapsed and their juice slightly thickened.
Serve Port Cherry Compote onto Greek Yoghurt, Ice Cream, Crêpes or Pancakes!

If one is going to make a fruit compote, spiced rum is always welcome 😉. Also, even frozen berries are gorgeous!! This will go nicely over both chocolate and vanilla ice cream.

NOTE TO SELF: The fruit compote is so good on the oatmeal so I tried it here, but that was unnecessary. Get it without next time.

若桃(桃の幼果)で、左は10日ほど前に作った…うーん…なんだろ?? 最初は甘露煮にするつもりで砂糖と一緒に煮て漬けこんだんだけど、実があまりにも若すぎて、ちょっとエグミというか渋みが強かったので、途中からシロップはやめて浅漬けの素で漬け込むことにしたものです。なんとなくオリーブ漬けっぽいものになる予感なんだけど、さてどうなるでしょう? そして右のはもう少し大きくなった幼果で、今度こそは甘露煮を作りました。まずは表面のうぶ毛を取り除くために、3度ほど茹でては指で毛をこそげ落とすを繰り返し、その後お砂糖を入れて本茹での工程へ。しかし茹でた後、そのまま冷ましたらシワシワの出来になってしまったのよねー 😨 やっぱり熱いう���に瓶詰めにしたほうが良かったのかな〜? でもお味のほうはまあまあ美味しくできました 💕 グリーンのまま仕上げるのに本当は銅の鍋で茹でると良いのだそうですが、ウチに銅鍋はないので、代わりに洗った10円玉を8枚ほど(掻き集めてそれしかなかったので…😅)入れて茹でてみたんだけど、果たして効き目はあったのかしらね?😝

The part about being independent and living on your own sucks when you're sick and mom's not here to make you some broth ☹️ So you gotta cook some by yourself, whining and sneezing the whole time.

National Fruit Compote Day
With a burst of natural sweetness, this delightful mix of fruits cooked to perfection promises a fruity explosion that tantalizes taste buds.
If you’ve got a sweet tooth, you’re probably a fan of the fruit compote. A delicious mixture of fruits or berries and sugar, the compote brings a punch of flavor to greek yogurt, a fruitful ending to a full course meal, or a sweet addition to your morning cereal. And on March 1st, if you ever needed an excuse to start your day with a mixture of sugar and fruits, then here it is!
History of Fruit Compotes
A fruit compote is a simple treat. It is technically a fruit sauce, made with fresh or frozen fruit chunks and sugar. The sugar is cooked on the stove to make a syrup, and the fruit is added in and warmed until the two mix together to create a syrupy sweet sauce. The sauce has a variety of uses, such as toast spread, in smoothies, on top of cakes or waffles, or into granola.
Food historians credit the dish’s original origin to France. The dish was originally served by itself in 17th century France as a dessert item. Interestingly enough, the dessert was originally created for its supposed health benefits.
The idea was that this dessert, or fruits cooked in any syrup, balanced out the effects of humidity in the body. The dessert was treated as a health remedy originally but eventually was served for pleasure as a dessert.
As the dish entered the medieval era, it was served at the beginning of the final course at a feast, usually with a potage, or a creamy vegetable and grain soup. Compote then became a staple dish in all feasts! In the Renaissance period, the compote was served cold in a dish to signal the end of a feast.
Since the meal was easy to prepare, did not cost much, and could be greatly varied based on the type of fruit, it became a staple throughout Jewish homes in Europe. The item was served at Jewish meals on toast, in yogurts, and creams.
Today, many countries serve compote instead of whole fruits and vegetables. Vegetable compotes are often served as soups, dips, or spreads. Fruit compotes are often used as toppings or desserts. Today, some of the most prolific compote recipes come from Germany, Holland, Belgium, Scandinavia, and France.
History of National Fruit Compote Day
Exactly when National Fruit Compote Day started being observed isn’t clear, but the food item is celebrated has been around for donkey’s years. The word ‘compote’ is from the French language, meaning a mixture.
With no dairy ingredients, fruit compote became a popular staple cuisine in Europe – but you will often find it served with yogurt or whipped cream. Many people who observe a dairy-free diet will also freeze fruit compotes in containers and eat this as a dairy-free ice cream substitute!
Fruit compote also goes well with cakes and biscuits, often serving as the fruity part of homemade cheesecakes. Pouring it over granola and cream also makes it the perfect end to a full course meal.
How to celebrate National Fruit Compote Day
If you’re feeling a bit handy in the kitchen, cooking up some fruit compote of your own isn’t too hard to do at all. Just choose your favorite berries and fruits, and boil them in water with plenty of sugar and spices. To give it some extra flavor you can add vanilla to the syrup, or drop in some orange peel or cinnamon sticks while it’s boiling. Dropping in some grated coconut will give your creation a little something extra.
Consider also trying a compote-based recipe, such as using compote to make frozen fruit popsicles, or mixing compote into ice cream to make a thickened frozen fruit treat! Make a simple compote to put into other treats.
Try topping your toast, cereal, granola, yogurt, or ice creams with this sweet spread, and you may just find your new favorite treat! If you want to eat it hot, try baking a cake or cupcake, and then filling or topping it with warm fruit compote!
If you’re in the mood for something a little boozy, one traditional recipe sees the syrup made with wine, but you could just use dried fruits soaked in alcohol if you wish. Some recipe variations call for wine, rum, or tequila to create a tangy flavor mixed with sweetened sugary fruit. You can either soak the fruit in alcohol for a few days to soak up the flavor, or you can mix the alcohol in at the cooking stage for a sharper flavor!
Looking for a creative way to get your daily serving of fruits? Don’t like eating fruits whole? There’s no better way to get your “five a day” than with a tasty treat like this, so give fruit compote a try today and join many others across the world observing National Fruit Compote Day.

Thinking about the fact that one day I will have my own apartment and I can open all the windows and I will make my own bread and cheese and butter by hand and I will practice things and put effort into failing in order to grow and there will be no one there to tell me it's not worth it to try
