Supercook, Rose Elliot, Hamlyn, 2006.
Strawberries are tops at the moment and
cheap. Time to use them up in this compôte.
In a bowl I scattered some mint leaves and
bruised them with the back of a spoon. I added a couple of tablespoons honey
and stirred it into the leaves.
I took half a honeydew melon and scooped out
the seeds then used a melon baller to take out the flesh. The melon balls went
into the bowl with the honey and mint.
Now a punnet of strawberries was washed,
sliced and added to the melons. These were gently stirred in, the bowl covered
and left for 3 hours, occasionally giving it another gentle stir.
The compote was delicious. The fruit juices
had blended into a wonderful liquid so the fruits were able to be served in it.
The mint leaves tended to be a bit too overpowering to eat but had imparted
their flavour to the dish.
