Notes
- Serving Suggestions
- Variations
- If using golden kiwi or ones that are slightly underripe, cook them a bit longer so they have a chance to develop more of a sweet flavor.
- To change up the sweetness, try using brown sugar, coconut sugar, maple syrup, or honey instead of white granulated sugar.
- If you enjoy a compote that has a bit more syrup, add water until you reach your desired consistency.
- Use it as a topping on a Vegan Cheesecake.
- Add kiwi compote to fresh fluffy pavlova - a perfect New Zealand dessert.
- Use it to top a batch of pancakes or waffles.
- Spoon it onto plain yogurt or hot oatmeal.
- Switch it up by using golden kiwi for a beautiful yellow hue.
- Add chopped fresh mango or pineapple when cooking the kiwi for a tropical flavor.
- Whiz the compote in a blender, then strain into a bowl to create a kiwi coulis sauce.
- Add some lemon or orange zest for more zingy flavor.
- Try adding a little coconut essence when cooking the compote.
