Comment préparer Winter Fruit Compote With Cognac
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Halve or quarter 1 cup pitted prunes depending on size. Quarter 1 cup fresh figs.
Thinly slice 1 cup kumquats (about 1/8 inch thick), leaving the skin on. Remove seeds if desired.
In a medium saucepan, combine the prunes, figs, kumquats, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup cognac (or brandy), 1/4 cup water, and a pinch of ground cinnamon and nutmeg.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the fruits are plump and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Remove from heat and let the compote macerate, covered, for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve warm over vanilla ice cream, crème fraîche, and toasted almonds. Enjoy!
