Ingredients

• 3 organic apples, peeled, cored and cut into small wedges
• 3 cups fresh mixed organic berries (blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries - whatever is in season, or frozen if not in season)
• 1 cup thick, natural organic yoghurt (use milk, soy, coconut or other)
• 1/2 cup raw sugar
• 1/4 cup pistachio nuts
• 1/4 cup pecan nuts (can use walnuts)
• 1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• Water
• Raw honey to drizzle

Method

1. Put the sugar, orange juice, cinnamon sticks and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan.
2. Cook this mixture over a medium heat, stirring regularly.
3. Once the sugar has completely dissolved, bring the mixture to the boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 3-5 minutes, or when mixture is slightly reduced.
4. Add apples and gently simmer for a further 7 minutes.
5. Add mixed berries and stir to combine into the mixture. Simmer for a further 5 minutes.
6. Set aside the mixture to cool.
7. Transfer to a freeze-proof dish, cover and refridgerate.
8. When ready to serve, spoon some of the apple and berry into 4 serving glasses.
9. Top with the yoghurt, sprinkle with the nuts and drizzle with the honey and serve.

Any leftover compote can be kept in the refridgerator for 3-4 day.

Dried berries, dried apricots, dried nectarines - can also be used, but the simmer time needs to be longer.
