Apple Compote 1 Ingredients: 1 cup sugar (more or less, depending on taste) 1/2 cup water 4 cups peeled, cored and sliced apples Cooking Instructions: Bring the sugar and water to a boil over high heat. Simmer for 5 minutes. This dissolves the sugar and makes a syrup. Add the fruit and continue to cook for about 5 to 10 minutes, until just tender. Remove the fruit from the juice and set aside. Reduce the juice over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until it becomes syrupy. Pour the reduced syrup over the cooked fruit. Serve warm. For safekeeping: Cool the compote. Refrigerate up to 5 days.
Apple Compote 2 Ingredients: 100 g/3½ oz unsalted butter 750 g/1lb 10 oz Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and chopped 100 g/3½ oz caster sugar 1 vanilla pod split Cooking Instructions: Place the butter in a stainless steel saucepan and start to melt. Add the apples, sugar and vanilla pod. Cook out the apple to a compote, stirring from time to time for approximately 30 minutes on a moderate heat. If the texture is too runny then leave to reduce until you have a thick texture. Remove the vanilla pod, and reserve for use later. Place the apple compote into a blender, blend to a fine pulp and pass through a fine sieve. Serve.
Apple Compote 3 Ingredients: 6 Ripe Apples 285 ml (½ pint) Water 225 g (8 oz) Sugar 1 Lemon Green Angelica or Candied Citron Cooking Instructions: Select the apples of a moderate size, peel, core and cut into halves, rub each piece with a little lemon. Put the sugar and water into a saucepan and boil until it forms a thickish syrup. Then add the thinly cut lemon rind and juice. Add the apples and allow to simmer until tender. Remove them very carefully, drain on a sieve and reduce the syrup by boiling it quickly for a few minutes. When both are cold, arrange the apples neatly on a glass dish, pour over the syrup and garnish with strips of green angelica or candied citron. Smaller apples may be dressed in the same manner, they should not be divided in half, but peeled and the cores pushed out with a vegetable cutter.
