Strawberry Apple Compote

Ingredients

• 2 apples (peeled, cored and sliced into 1/2-inch wedges)
• 2 cup strawberries (hulled and sliced in half)
• 6 cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 1/2 tablespoon sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup apple cider (alcohol-free)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

1. 1

   Put apples and strawberries in a bowl and add cloves, ground ginger, cinnamon, salt and sugar. Mix well with a spoon and set aside.

2. 2

   In a deep skillet or saucepan over medium heat, add the butter, and once the butter has melted, add the fruit mixture. Stir and cook for 6-7 minutes, or until the fruit has caramelized.

3. 3

   Add apple cider, stir and lower heat to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until fruit is tender. You may need to add a little water if the mixture looks dry (start with 2 tablespoons and add more if needed).

4. 4

   Turn the heat off, add lemon juice and stir. Let the compote cool until it’s still warm but cool enough to the touch.
