Whipping up a batch of your own fruit compote is simple and makes a tasty light breakfast or healthy dessert.

Plum Compote Ingredients

• 6-8 ripe large plums
• 15g butter
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 -2 tsp honey

How to make plum compote

To make our easy plum compote be sure to choose plums that are very ripe and squashy as they’ll taste the sweetest.

• Cut the plums in half carefully, twist them and remove the plum stone from the middle.
• Chop the plum flesh into bitesized pieces.

• Tip the butter into a saucepan.

• Melt the butter over a low heat.

• Tip the chopped plums into the melted butter.

• Sprinkle over the ground cinnamon.

• Drizzle over the honey – you can add 1 or 2 tsp of honey or if you prefer skip it all together.
• Mix all the plum compote ingredients together then pour in just enough boiling water to cover the base of the pan.

• Simmer over a low heat with the lid on for around 15 minutes until all the plums are all squashy.

You can either leave the compote chunky or you can tip it into the food processor and blitz to a thick puree – just do whichever you prefer – you could even blitz half and then mix the chunky pieces back in.
