Tanzia Dried Fruit & Nut Compote
Eating fruit is a classic way to celebrate Sukkot. One way to try and mix up your fruit dishes is to make compote, a traditional Jewish food that is popular in many Israeli homes. It’s a sweet, soupy desert made from fruit. Besides the sweetness, many people say that it helps with digestion. Compote is a great dessert, served on its own, or added to other dishes, such as chicken and meats as a sweet sauce.
