Compota de Uvas con Crujiente de Boniato (Grape Compote with Crispy Sweet Potato): A Spanish recipe for a dessert of prune and grape compote topped nut caramel and finished with crisp-fried sweet potatoes.

Ingredients:

600g white grapes, washed, peeled and with pips removed
8 tbsp sugar
6 prunes, chopped
500ml water
finely-grated zest of 1 orange
1 orange sweet potato
extra-virgin olive oil
cinnamon sugar

For the Fruit Caramel:
100g blanched almonds
100g shelled walnuts
100g sugar
2 tbsp water
a few drops of lemon juice

Method:

Place 500ml water in a pan, add the chopped prunes and 8 tbsp sugar. Bring to a boil then add the grapes. Finely grate the zest of the orange and add to the pan. Simmer the resultant mixture for 20 minutes.

For the caramel, combine the sugar and water in a pan. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and heat gently until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat and continue coking until the mixture is golden brown.

Add the walnuts and almonds, stirring to coat in the caramel. Take the mixture off the heat and spread on a sheet of baking parchment greased with a little oil.

Peel the sweet potatoes and slice into thin julienne strips. Fry in a deep-fryer heated to 180°C until crisp and golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper.

To serve, divide the fruit compote between serving dishes. Break the caramel into pieces and scatter over the fruit. Top with the crispy potato sticks and serve.
