- 1 hour to make
- Serves 6 cups
This is my prep for Christmas gifts. The compote turned out very tasty and not overly sweet. The spices compliment the apples very nicely. This batch made five 275 ml jars which is about 6 cups total.
Ingredients
- 2 and half pounds granny smith apples shopping list
- 1 pound sugar (I used caster sugar) shopping list
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice shopping list
- 3 cinnamon sticks shopping list
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder shopping list
- 1/4 tsp allspice shopping list
- 2 tbsp coursely grated fresh ginger shopping list
- 2 tbsp honey shopping list
How to make it
- Peel and core the apples. Cut them in small cubes (bite size pieces).
- Place all ingredients in a very large pan except for the sugar.
- Cook over medium heat so the apples get softer stiring occasionaly.
- Ten minutes later add the sugar and let the compote simmer for about 20 minutes or until it gets the desired consistency.
- Test the compote on a plate - this is the way I do it. Let it cool a bit. If the liquid cools to a gelly like consistency then the compote is ready.
- Jar the compote and put the lids on immediatly.
- For better conservation put the jars in a large pan with about 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil for about 10 minutes.
- This compote should keep for two years.
