Ingredients
- 1 large Granny Smith apple
- 2 small ripe pears
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 dl raisins
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp sherry vinegar
- 2 tbsp red currant jelly
- pinch salt
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Peal and core the apple and pears and coarsely cut up into 2.5 cm or 1 inch cubes.
- Place in a hot sauce pan with the butter, raisins and thyme. Sprinkle in the sugar and saute for about 5 minutes.
- Add the sherry vinegar and red currant jelly and saute for about 5 minutes more until all the liquid in the pan has evaporated and the fruits are barely cooked. You may need to add a drop or two of water if the compote is too stiff once it has cooled.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
This is a nice quick accompaniment for roasted meats when you don't have what you need to make a sauce or gravy. It is also good with cold roast meats. It is best served just warm.
