Preparation of the compote is pretty simple,that is fruits are cooked in water with sugar and spices and the sugar syrup will get a pleasant aroma with the addition of certain spices like cinnamon bark or powder,cloves etc.Along with that additional flavouring elements such as vanilla,lemon,orange peel etc may be added to get desired flavour. At last for getting a rich feeling,we can add some almonds,coconut and raisins.And can serve either warm or cold.
