Prune Compote
by fig + fauna farm on 09/10/12
I feel a pleasant rhythm beginning to form in our homeschooling days. Each morning, stories are read and inspire our minds. We spring from the cozy bed and head to the kitchen, diving even deeper into the lessons. Books with food involved have such great impact as we learn and taste the fables first hand. Goldilocks is a favorite this week, along with the porridge of the three bears ~ and this mama bear made something a little extra special to make the story even sweeter :)
PRUNE COMPOTE
You can use many fruits for this simple compote - a mixture of stone fruits would be divine. Try this topping on pancakes, crepes, yogurt and porridge of course!
You will need:
-
2 cups fruit , coarsely chopped
-
1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
-
1/2 cup water
-
1/4 tsp lemon zest (optional)
Heat all ingredients over medium. Stir gently to keep from scorching, until liquid is thick and fruit is soft. Serve immediatly or store in the refrigerator for a few days.
