Fig and Apple Compote

This years 2. fig season is killing me. No more empty jars for jam and I wont buy some.



Looking for ideas and talking to friends is a good way to get inspiration. The compite was one of them. Eating some of ot with some Skyr as dessert and giving some to my neighbor, I had enough to put two filled freezer bags down for use in the future.



This is a good way to make figs last longer. There is no additional sugar needed. I only used a little pear fruit juice to have enough liquid for a compote. As a seasoning, a bit of cinnamon and ground ginger and the juice of a lemon are nice.



It takes a bit of time to peel and cut the apples, but a 2 to 3 ratio from apples to figs works fine. Just top and tail the figs and quarter them. When the cooking is done, after about 20 minutes, use a potato masher to give the compite the right consistency.



Ingredients:

2 apples

650 g fresh figs

1 lemon, juiced

100 ml pear juice

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground ginger
