Nectarine Compote

You saw the fruits that you like is on sale and you happily bring home 2 boxes of it only to find out that they're too dry. Have you experienced this? this is what happened to me with my 2 boxes of totally not juicy nectarine. The first thing that I tried with these fail fruits is nectarine crumble and it didn't worked so well because, well, they're already dry and crumbles need juicy fruits to become a nice one, which explains why apple makes a very good crumble. So, how to make these fruits edible? You can try make it into a compote! So, what is compote? When we hear the word Compote, the first thing come to mind is pear compote, but if we dig more recipes to it, we'll see lots of varieties of fruit compote. So, Compote means fruit plus liquor, be it wine or hard liquor, boiled until the liquid is reduced to certain consistency. Off course if you have nice fruits, making it into compote will result in a very wonderful one, but if you have a fail fruit, this dessert also will do because it'll soften the fruit and you'll have liquid to help the fruit glide down your throat :d, and it's easy to make too ;)


It's so glossy and soft in color, right?

So without further a do:

Ingredients:
4 nectarines cut 6 wedges each
500 ml water
100 gr sugar
2 lemon, take the juice only
40 ml cointreau

How to make:
1. In a sauce pan, boil all except cointreau under small fire. After about 10 minutes, add on cointreau and let it simmer until the syrup reduced by about half.

Tips:
- can be served warm/cold.
- add on oats and vanilla ice cream, it'll become another different dessert.

Enjoy!
