Instructions

Instructions and steps: 

Step 1 Remove stones then slice nectarines and plums. Place in a saucepan with orange juice, ginger and jam. Cook over a gentle heat until jam becomes liquid and fruit becomes soft and tender.

Step 2 Mix cornflour with a little of the hot liquid to form a paste. Return to saucepan and stir until mixture is thickened. Serve.

Variations

Use peaches and apricots instead of nectarines and plums.

HFG Tip

  • Vary the compote thickness by adding less or more cornflour.
  • Served with low-fat yoghurt, this compote is perfect for breakfast.
