• If you prefer a smooth texture without pieces, use the "Progressive Speed" function of the Thermomix to blend the compote at the end of cooking.
• Add some spices like cinnamon or ginger powder to give a warmer flavor to your compote.
• If you prefer a less liquid consistency, remove the lid from the Thermomix bowl after blending the fruits and let it cook for a few more minutes until the excess water evaporates.
• To preserve more nutrients from the fruits, opt for gentle cooking by using a lower varoma temperature (around 85°C /185°F) for a little longer.
• You can add sliced almonds or crushed hazelnuts just before serving your compote to add a crunchy and tasty touch.
• If you want a sweeter compote, add sugar or agave syrup in addition to honey. Taste regularly to adjust the amount of sugar to your preferences.
• For an even more fragrant compote, you can infuse spices like vanilla or cloves in the liquid (water or juice) used during cooking.
• You can also add some orange or lemon zest to bring a citrusy note to your compote.
• If you like textures with some pieces, don't hesitate to slightly reduce the blending time and leave some small pieces for a more rustic sensation in the mouth.
• If you want some pieces in the compote, in the last step, set it for 15 seconds at speed 4 instead of 30 seconds at speed 8.
