- 500 g plums
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon agave syrup
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
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.
- 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.
