Summer Fruit Compote

The George Experience has Dr Anne trialing compotes with fruit from the garden which she had put in the freezer.

Summer Fruit Compote

Raspberries
Blackcurrants
Redcurrants

Sugar to taste

Optional - summer fruit vinegar from the store cupboard bought at some time from Fortnum and Mason

Dr Anne puts in a saucepan equal amounts of raspberries and blackcurrants and half the amount of redcurrants with sugar to sweeten. On some occasions she adds a couple of tablespoons of summer fruit vinegar. She takes the fruit to the boil, cools it then sometimes liquidized and sometimes leaves it grainy.

Delia Smith's book suggests putting the fruit with the sugar in an open, shallow baking dish in a pre heated oven 180c for 30 - 40 minutes.
