How to Make 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!
