Ingredients:
1 lb fruit of your choice- 1 tsp grated lemon, lime or orange zest
- 1 tbsp granular sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
Makes about 2 cups
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, bring to a boil 1 pound of blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, pitted cherries, or pitted and diced apricots, peaches, nectarines or plums (or a combination of any of these) along with the grated lemon, orange or lime zest and granular sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the fruit has softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, adjust the sweetener if necessary, and cool completely before freezing.
WW POINT VALUE: Not a whole lot I hope!
Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Taste of Summer Cookbook. I purchased so many peaches from the farmers' market recently and I wanted to do something sweet with them. I mixed in 1 lb of peaches with about a half cup of pitted sweet cherries along with the zest and sugar. Plus I kicked it up a notch with some cinnamon and nutmeg. Fruit Compote make a nice dessert or a nice topping for just about anything.
