Organic Dried Fruit Compote (Refined sugar-free) + Giveaway

12 Dec Organic Dried Fruit Compote (Refined sugar-free) + Giveaway

After Thanksgiving, I realized that I had a lot of leftover dried fruit and I had to figure out what to do with it! Well, after getting my hands on a copy of the book Veganish: The Omnivores Guide To Plant-Based Cooking, I found a recipe!

I read and reviewed this book on a previous post, which you can find here <3 I definitely recommend this book to those that are transitioning into a plant-based diet. It covers basic topics of transitioning as well as specifics in cooking techniques that will help you improve your skills in the kitchen as well.

What I love most about this recipe is that you can make it your own based on your preferences or what you have in your kitchen.

• Figs
• Dates
• Cranberries
• Raisins
• Apricots
• Apples
• Pears
• Nectarines
• Cherries
• Jackfruit
• Etc.

I used Figs, Apricots and Cranberries in my recipe as these were what I had leftover from Thanksgiving. I definitely reccommend this combination!

How to serve fruit compote?

• Place a dallop on top of some banana ice cream
• Spread some onto a fruit bread, such as my Plantain Chai Nut Bread (gluten- and oil-free)
• Aside some fresh fruit
• Top it with Raw Vegan Oat Crumble
• Add a spoonful to your oatmeal
• Sandwich it between my Sweet Vegan Hawaiian Buns

I added in organic raw vanilla bean powder and Organic Mushroom Matrix Reishi Powder. If you do not have vanilla bean powder, try adding in fresh vanilla bean or pure vanilla bean extract, preferably alcohol-free. The Reishi is optional but recommended! Reishi promotes vitality and provides adaptogenic properties that help combat stress. It is also highly valued for supporting respiratory function and stimulating the immune system. You can read more on the Mushroom Matrix website.
