Fruit simmered in a lot of water with a little sugar, then cooled. It is drunk cold and the fruit in the glass is eaten with a spoon, which is why the cherries go in at the end and stay whole.

Ingredients

Apple
400 grams
Sour Cherry
200 grams
White Sugar
4 tablespoons (50 grams)
Lemon
15 grams
Cinnamon, ground
1 pinch
Steps
Core the apples and cut them into 2 cm pieces, skin on. Most of the colour and the body of a compote comes out of the skin.
5 min
Bring 1.5 litres of water to the boil with the apples and simmer ten minutes.
10 min
Add the cherries and the sugar and cook five minutes more. Cherries put in at the start collapse and go grey.
5 min
Take it off the heat, squeeze the lemon in, add the cinnamon and let it cool at least an hour. Hot compote tastes of very little; the flavour arrives as it cools.
60 min
Serving suggestion
Cold from the fridge, with some of the fruit ladled into every glass.
Storage
Four days in the fridge in a closed jug. It gets better on the second day.
Notes
Frozen cherries go in straight from the bag. Rhubarb, plums or blackcurrants all work the same way.
