About compote
Research draft based on the references below. These notes describe particular recipes and presentations; ingredient connections are still being reviewed.
Kathryne Taylor describes compote as a fruit sauce made by briefly cooking pieces of fruit with a sweetener. Her recipe offers several fruits; this representative selection follows the separate fresh strawberry batch.
The strawberries are cut into thin slices and combined with honey and a dash of salt in a saucepan. Occasional stirring accompanies the mixture as it comes to a boil.
The heat is reduced after boiling. The compote simmers with frequent stirring until it has reduced to about half its starting volume.
The saucepan is removed from the heat, and more of the same honey may be stirred in to taste. Mashing is an offered choice for a smoother finish; this selection retains fruit pieces.
The author describes a sweet, saucy result with a textured fruit finish. It cools for a few minutes before serving; yogurt is the selected optional accompaniment, while other fruits and extra flavorings remain separate choices.
