compotes
Syrupy fruit dishes
Compotes are fruits cooked slowly in sugar syrup, often with spices or citrus.
Unlike jams, compotes retain distinct fruit pieces and have a looser, more sauce-like consistency.
They're served as desserts, breakfast toppings, or accompaniments to meat and cheese: a warm apple compote with cinnamon, pork chops with dried fruit compote.
