Equipment

  • Pot
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Spatula

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Cherries frozen
  • ½ cup Raspberries frozen
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • ½ Zest of an orange
  • ½ orange juiced

Instructions

  • Place frozen cherries and berries into a pot or frying pan over high heat, until juices start to release. Stir occasionally.
  • Add sugar and zest, and stir.
  • Once the mixture begins to thicken, add orange juice and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low and thicken for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. The compote will thicken as it cools so don’t over thicken in the pan.
  • Remove from heat and pour into a bowl to cool completely. Serve warm or place in the fridge to chill.

Notes

*You can do whatever fruit you’d like (for the most part), it should just measure out to 100g total.
*This recipe is adapted from Chef Ashley’s compote that I learned during my six-week patisserie course in Scotland.
