- Seasonal fresh fruits like apple, pear or in summer peach, apricots, plums. Also pumpkins go great.
- Dried Fruits: Raisins, Dates, Figs, Apricots...
- Optional: Walnuts, Almonds or Peacans
- 1 tbsp Orange Zest
- Ghee or Coconot Oil (I rarely add this)
- Spices of your choice like cinnamon (powder and stick), star anise, clove, ground ginger, cardamom
- Water
Chopt the fruits, deseed and clean. I keep the skins
If you are using ghee add it to pan, melt and add spices, saute for 1 minute
If you are not using the ghee just add the fruits, orange zest, spices, dried fruits and nuts
Add a little water not covering the fruits and even less. Stir them all well
Bring to boil and reduce heat to low, simmer for 5-10 miuntes checking the fruits
Serve warm, add coconut cream or almond butter with it. Use the remaining for your morning porridges or crepes
I also make a big batch, put them into jars while it is hot and preserve them for future usage. Adding a few spoons of the juice and some pieces of the fuits to your morning porrdige will be soo yummy and enriching. This easy delight will give warmth to your heart and ease to your tummy!
Enjoy, Afiyet olsun (in Turkish)
