Ingredients:

• 750 g ripe plums
• 750 g ripe, sweet mirabelle plums
• 2-3 tablespoons of raisins for sweetness
• 100 ml apple juice
• cinnamon

Anti-waste tips:

• Can be used past the best-before date: raisins and apple juice, provided the bottle has remained unopened (look, smell and taste)

Preparation:

Wash the plums and mirabelle plums and remove the stones. Pour the apple juice into a saucepan, add the fruit, raisins and cinnamon. Cook the fruit until tender, then immediately purée.

Pour the compote into clean jars with screw-top lids and seal them tightly; store in the fridge. The compote can be served with ice cream, yoghurt or other desserts. It can also be enjoyed on toast or as an accompaniment to other dishes. It is also ideal for tarts, cakes and pastries.
