WHAT IS A COMPOTE?

• or on toast with cashew cream cheese

OTHER FLAVOUR OPTIONS

• cook the compote with a bit of ground cinnamon and/ or star anise

• swap the orange juice for lemon juice, it will however affect the overall taste and you might want to add more maple syrup or other sweetener.

• if you don't have maple syrup you can use agave syrup, sugar or honey (unless avoiding).
