Compotes are more spoonable than spreadable. They can be used for toppings, fillings, sauces, or condiments. Naturally sweet cherries make an obvious match for confections, but try spooning this over foie gras, meats, or alongside your charcuterie.

“Composta” is the Italian word for ‘stewed fruit’. Traditional compote is texturally quite different from “jellies” or jam preserves, which are cooked longer and with the addition of thickening agents. Envision a chunky syrup with just the right amount of Balsamic zest to brighten the palate! Compotes are more spoonable than spreadable, which allows for more versatility in the kitchen.  

They can be used for toppings, fillings, sauces, or side condiments. Naturally sweet cherries make an obvious match for confections, but they have an added richness and complexity that lends itself to endless savory applications as well. Spoon over foie gras, game meats, or alongside your charcuterie for a perfect accessory.
