  1. Peel the kiwis and chop them roughly, then add the rest to a pot with the sugar and lemon juice. Add any kiwi juice from the cutting board into the pan.
  2. Turn the heat to medium, stir the pot well and bring it to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
  3. Mash slightly with a fork to break up some of the kiwi pieces.
  4. It’s ready to use immediately, or store in the fridge in a lidded container for up to 1 week.

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.
