freshly-grated zest of 1 lemon
60ml water
150g granulated sugar (or to taste)
Method:
Making this compote is simplicity itself. Combine the ingredients in a pan and slowly bring to a simmer. Cover and cook gently until the apples are soft and resemble a slightly chunky apple sauce. Take off the heat, allow to cool and remove the whole spices.
This dish can be served either warm or cold and should be consumed within 1 day, as it will not keep.
