Plum Compote with Basil

August 4, 2015 By Danielle 4 Comments

I’ve found the secret to happy mornings. It starts with knowing that you can beat the clock and still indulge in a healthy and delicious choice. And once you can manage this you’re seemingly beaming the rest of the day.

A summer secret? Fruit compote.

As pregnant as the trees are with thick and juicy bearings, there is quite a masterful and simple way of preserving their sweet bounty. A quick simmer in sweet honey (or agave) yields a syrup that is difficult to keep from adorning, well, anything. This is where I gleefully summon breakfast.

For this particular recipe I use plums (but the possibilities are endless). My recommended application occurs at the bottom of greek yogurt and granola, only to be lovingly stirred into a treasured abyss.

Simple matters of the heart.

A healthy breakfast option is yours in mere minutes. The compote will keep in the refrigerator the remainder of the week (if you can keep it around that long).

Happy August. May your breakfast options leave you excited and energized.

Serves: Serves 2
Ingredients
  • 2 large plums pitted and chopped
  • ¼ cup of honey
  • ¼ cup of apple juice
  • 1½ tsp minced fresh basil
Instructions
  1. Bring plum, honey, and apple juice to a boil in a medium sauce pan over medium-high heat (just enough to dissolve the honey).
  2. Reduce heat and simmer until fruit has softened (you can help the process by gently mashing with a spoon) and liquid has thickened - about ten, or up to twelve minutes.
  3. Once thickened stir in fresh basil.
  4. Enjoy with ½ cup of greek yogurt and a ¼ cup of granola.

      Thank you, Lauren! If not a breakfast application, this would be a wonderful topping for ice cream as well!
