Ingredients
- 2 medium Fresh apples
- 2 medium Fresh pears
- 6 whole Fresh plums
- 1 cup Fresh or frozen cherries
- 1 cup Fresh or frozen berries (e.g., raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries)
- 8 cups Water
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice (optional)
- 1 stick Cinnamon stick (optional)
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash all the fresh fruits thoroughly under running water.
Step 2
Core the apples and pears, then dice them into medium-sized chunks. Leave the skins on for extra flavor and nutrients.
Step 3
Halve and pit the plums.
Step 4
In a large pot, combine the apples, pears, plums, cherries, and berries.
Step 5
Pour 8 cups of water into the pot, ensuring all the fruit is submerged.
Step 6
If using, add the cinnamon stick to the pot for a subtle spiced flavor.
Step 7
Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
Step 8
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for 25-30 minutes, until the fruit is soft and has released its natural sweetness into the water.
Step 9
Taste the kompot. If you'd like a slightly tangy kick, add the fresh lemon juice and stir well.
Step 10
Remove the pot from heat and allow the kompot to cool to room temperature.
Step 11
Optional: Strain the mixture to separate the liquid from the fruit if you prefer a clear beverage, or leave the fruit pieces in for added texture.
Step 12
Serve warm or transfer to a pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to enjoy it chilled.
Step 13
Garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving, if desired.
