RUSSIAN FRUIT COMPOTE ~ KOMPOT
Kompot is a thick, sweet fruit drink that makes an excellent dessert or snack. Serve kompot in tall glasses with spoons for scooping up the fruit at the bottom. You may use a single type of fruit or an assortment of fruit for kompot. Apples, pears, plums, and berries are all delicious choices. This can be served chilled. 1 - 2 hour chilling time is not included in prep/cook times. Found at BridgetoRussian.com for Culinary Quest 2014.

Steps:
- Wash fruit in cold water and cut into small pieces. Remove all pits and inedible seeds.
- Place fruit in a large kettle and add 6 c. water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, add 1/2 c. sugar, and stir. Cover and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes.
- Depending on the combination of fruits you have used, you may want to add more sugar. (Add sugar sparingly-if kompot tastes sweet when hot, it will taste even sweeter when cold.)
- Add cinnamon stick and nutmeg and stir well. Simmer for another 10 minutes. (*I* would add these at the beginning)
- Remove cinnamon stick before serving. Serve hot, or chill and serve cold.
