TAMARILLO AND APPLE COMPOTE (Use on pancakes)

 
Ingredients:
Tamarillo and apple compote
3 tamarillos
3 apples I used granny smiths
2 star anise
2 tablespoon raw sugar
A strip of orange zest

Juice of an orange

Method:

Tamarillos are hard to peel with a peeler, but easy if you blanch them first. Cut a cross in their bottoms, drop them into boiling water for a minute, then remove and drop them into cold water. The skin will then peel off easily by hand.
Add peeled and chopped apples, chopped tamarillos, spices, sugar, orange zest and juice to a sauce pan. Cook over a low to medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until the tamarillos have released their gorgeous ruby red juices and the apples are cooked. I prefer my fruit to still have some texture to it, rather than cooking it into a puree.
I then stir through the fruit and pick out the whole spices and orange zest. Biting into a whole clove isn't that nice. You could use ground cloves if you can't be bothered with this - maybe half a teaspoon.
Cool and keep in the fridge until you need it, or eat it hot straight away if you just can't wait.
Makes about two cups.
