Fruit-Bottom Yogurt
Description
Fruit-Bottom Yogurt features a homemade fruit compote made by simmering peeled, chopped fruit with honey and a pinch of salt, then thickening it with a cornstarch slurry. Once cooled, it is layered with plain yogurt that is lightly sweetened with honey. The resulting dish balances the fresh fruit's natural flavors and gentle sweetness with the creamy, slightly tangy yogurt, providing a textured and refreshing experience. This recipe allows adjustments in sweetness and fruit type to suit taste preferences and seasonal availability.
The preparation highlights the importance of simmering the fruit gently to preserve its integrity while creating a syrupy compote. The thickened fruit mixture rests under yogurt in a jar for convenient grab-and-go portions. It works well as a wholesome breakfast or midday refreshment.
The simple layering approach keeps textures distinct: smooth yogurt atop fruit compote. The honey can be increased if using tart fruits like rhubarb to balance acidity. This method enables making multiple servings that keep refrigerated up to a week, offering an easy way to enjoy fruit and dairy combined.
Ingredients
- 250 g Fruit 1/2 lb, peeled and chopped if needed
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- pinch salt
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 Tablespoon water cold
- 1 3/4 cups PLAIN yogurt sweetened with 1 tablespoon honey, or to taste.
Instructions
Make compote
- Place fruit, honey and salt in a medium sized saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently. Stir together cornstarch and water until cornstarch is dissolved. Pour into fruit mixture. Simmer 5 minutes, stirring often, until thickened and no longer cloudy. Allow to cool before layering with yogurt.
Make yogurt
- Add two tablespoons fruit compote to a sealable jar or plastic container. Top with 1/4 cup yogurt. Refrigerate, covered, for up to one week.
Notes
- Adjust honey amount based on the fruit's tartness to reach desired sweetness.
