Description
Please note that no sugar is added to the compote; it gains sweetness from the dried fruits. In case it is not sweet enough, you can add a couple of tablespoons of sugar. The key is not to overcook the compote but to let it steep. It turns out very delicious; my husband enjoyed it with whipped cream.
