Ingredients
- 500 g plums
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon agave syrup
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- Wash the plums, cut them in half, and remove the stones. If you have bigger plums, cut them into quarters.
- Heat a pot over medium heat. Put in the plums with the ground cinnamon, ground cloves, agave syrup, and vanilla extract. Add 2-4 tablespoons of water and stir. Cover with a lid.
- Cook the compote over medium to low heat for about 15 minutes until the plums are soft and the compote thickens, stirring occasionally.
- Serve warm or let cool and serve cold with yogurt, pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, chia seed pudding, and more.
Notes
- Choose ripe fruits – Opt for ripe plums that are slightly soft to the touch but not mushy. Ripe plums will be sweeter and more flavorful.
- Don't overcook – Be mindful not to overcook the plums. They should be tender but still hold their shape. Overcooking can result in a mushy texture.
- Vary the fruits – Try this delicious compote recipe with other fruits like apples, pears, and berries. Softer fruits will have a shorter cooking time, while firmer fruits will take longer.
