Fig Compote Recipe

If you don’t have access to fresh figs, try this dried fig compote which is versatile as a dessert with a ball of vanilla icecream, or eat with a dollop of yoghurt and sprinkle of muesli. Best of all, it lasts in the fridge for a couple of weeks.

1 cup dried figs

½ cup prunes

½ cup apricots, halved

¼ cup brown sugar

2 star anise

1 cinnamon stick

3 pieces orange peel

1 cup orange juice

½ cup sliced almonds, toasted
