A jar of spiced clementine compote is your Christmas MVP. Serve with cheese, spoon over porridge, or add to a festive breakfast platter.
If your fruit bowl is piled high with clementines, use them to make this festive dessert, too.
Ingredients
- 6 seedless clementines or easy-peelers, peeled, separated into segments, white pith removed
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- Juice 1 lemon
- 1 tsp grated clementine zest
- 1 vanilla pod, split, or 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 2 cardamom pods, lightly bashed, or 1 star anise or cinnamon stick (optional)
- 1-2 tbsp brandy (optional)
Method
- Put all the ingredients in a pan and cook over a medium heat, stirring now and then until the fruit breaks down and the juices thicken – about 30 minutes.
- Cool, then decant into a clean jar or an airtight container. Enjoy on porridge, yogurt and pancakes, or add to a cheese or charcuterie board instead of chutney.
