  • About

We have the inevitable fruit trees, of mostly mysterious varieties, dotted around the farm. It’s a joy to make delicious compotes in the autumn and to squirrel away bags of it in the freezer, ready for winter suppers, like this humble flapjack zinged up with apple, pear and ginger filling.

Ingredients

  • 250 g apple and pear compote
  • 1-2 balls of stem ginger, finely chopped

Method

When making your compote, sit the cooked mixture in a stainless steel sieve over a bowl for a short while to allow the surplus syrup to drain off, otherwise the flapjack may be too sticky on the bottom. Just mash it up a bit if there are lumps of fruit. You could use any compote that takes your fancy; I used a greengage compote that was lurking in the freezer and the flapjack looked wonderful.
