- 200ml fresh orange juice
- half cinnamon stick
- 6 cloves
- 6 black peppercorns
- 0% Greek yogurt or low-fat fromage frais, to serve
Tip
Giving it a twistReplace the cinnamon stick with a whole star anise for liquorice flavour. Use grapefruit juice instead of orange. Throw in a handful of nuts or sesame and sunflower seeds just before serving.
Method
Tip the dried fruit, orange juice and whole spices into a microwaveable bowl. Microwave on High for 4-5 mins, stirring halfway through until the juices become sticky and the fruits are plump.
Leave the compote to stand for a minute and serve in bowls with spoonfuls of yogurt or fromage frais.
