At this point I would like to present my professional version of the Apple Compote Recipe.
With a detailed step by step instruction I accompany you to the perfect result.
Autumn time is apple time. The apples ripen now not only in the supermarket shelf, but also in the gardens and on public trees.
There are so many wonderful varieties in small and large, sweet and sour, red, colourful and yellow.
This variety inspires me, because with all of them you can cook, bake and also grill and fry great dishes and dishes! I picked my apples myself: It is a special mix of small varieties.
Small apples are usually particularly healthy and aromatic… hmm
You are invited to follow my recipe suggestion, I also present many variants. I wish you good luck!
You can store my compote in the fridge for 3 days.
For a larger stock I take this way:
I use sterile screw glasses.
Therefore I put the empty, heat-resistant glasses together with the lids in a pot with boiling water.
My compote has to be very hot in the glass.
Then quickly put the lid on it and screw it down tightly.
Thus the compote in the glass holds nearly 1 year. – By the way also a great gift and souvenir!
The cleaned and disinfected jars, prepared for filling with home-made jam or compote
6. Variants of the Apple Compote
A compote on apples isn’t applesauce. A compote is lumpy. The apple sauce is rather the pureed variant. This can be achieved quickly by stroking through a sieve.
So the difference is not big. It is only a question of the desired haptics on your tongue. I love haptic and optical the compote 🙂
There are many ways to Rome, i.e. many tastes. Therefore I would like to present you wonderful variants of my presented classic.
