Apricot and raspberry compote

METHOD

1.
Wash the apricots well but don’t peel it as a lot of vitamins sit just underneath the skin. Wash and drain the raspberries.

2. Stone the apricots and cut each half in four pieces. Put them in a pan with a splash of water, bring to a gentle boil and simmer for 15 min or until the apricots are very soft. Add the raspberries and cook for another couple of minutes.

3. Mash with a spoon, fork or blend in a food processor, depending on what texture you need.
