Blood Orange Compote
rate this recipe:
Flavoured with chilli, turmeric, and rose peppercorns, this delicious compote is perfect for cheese, yoghurt, or stirred into your morning porridge.
Ingredients
- 4 blood oranges or regular oranges
- 1 tsp orange zest from one of the oranges
- 1 tbsp light brown sugar
- pinch chilli flakes
- ¼ tsp turmeric
- ½ tsp pink peppercorns
- pinch salt
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Peel the oranges over a small saucepan, removing all the pith and white veins. You can also remove the orange flesh from the segments for an even softer compote. It depends on the freshness of the orange as to whether you need to do this.
- Measure the juice and add enough water to make 150ml.
- Add the sugar to the pan - swirl it around so it dissolves. Add the orange zest and spices and set the pan over a low heat.
- Gently simmer until the juice is thick and syrupy. Remove from the heat. Add the tablespoon of honey and stir gently until dissolved.
- Spoon into a clean jar and keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
- Delicious with pancakes, yoghurt, porridge and cheeses such as feta and cottage cheese. It is particularly good with really ripe burrata.
