Healing Berry Citrus Compote for Your Wellbeing

Start by carefully washing all your fruits, including sea buckthorn, red currants, or black currants, depending on the option you're choosing. Peel and slice the kiwis and oranges into bite-sized pieces for easy cooking.

Make sure to remove any seeds from the oranges. This will enhance the texture of your compote.

In a large bowl, combine your washed fruits along with the rose hips or cloves. If you're using cinnamon sticks, add them to the mixture as well. Mix gently to avoid smashing the fruits.

This combination provides a lovely blend of flavors that is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients.

Transfer the combined fruit mixture into a saucepan. Pour in enough water to just cover the fruits, about 500 milliliters (2 cups). Heat over medium heat, allowing it to gently boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully while keeping the fruits intact.

Once the compote has finished cooking, you can serve it warm or let it cool and refrigerate for later use. Either way, it makes a delightful addition to yogurts, desserts, or can be enjoyed on its own.

For a fancy touch, garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving, particularly for a holiday gathering!
