Homestyle Stewed Fruit
Method
- Put one cm of water in the bottom of your pot, fill it with roughly chopped stone fruit (without the stones)
- Add spice if using
- Bring to the simmer and cook for 8 to 12 minutes (depends on ripeness and how big you chop them)
- Serve hot with ice-cream, or in to the fridge for breakfast
- Take care if you are doing apricots, they seem to catch more quickly than other fruit; I tend to do them on a lowish temperature, and stir every 2 or 3 minutes
Comments
This is not really a recipe, more a practise. This is homestyle food. Without adding sugar, fruit does not hold its shape but that is not much of a loss, the summer fruit is so sweet.
Thanks to Willowbrook Orchards and to Caithness Orchards for providing the summer fruits used in the cooking demonstration
