Royal Pom® Pomegranate and Fresh Fruit Compote with La Bella Figura® Figs

A decadent combination of luscious fruits and berries.

Serves: 4.
Prep Time: 5 minutes.
Cooking Time: 20 minutes.

Ingredients

• 150ml fresh Royal Pom® pomegranate juice
• Arils from 1 large Royal Pom® pomegranate
• 1/4 cup caster sugar
• 125ml water
• 200g fresh blueberries
• 200g fresh raspberries
• 1 La Bella Figura® fig, quartered

Cooking Instructions

• To juice the pomegranate, cut it in half (as you would a grapefruit) and juice using a citrus reamer or a juicer. Pour mixture through a cheesecloth-lined strainer or sieve. One large Royal Pom® pomegranate will produce about 1/2 cup of juice.
• Place the pomegranate juice, sugar, and water in a medium saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves.
• Increase heat to high and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until the mixture is thick and syrupy.
• To remove pomegranate arils use a sharp knife, cut off the pomegranate crown, then cut the pomegranate into even sections. Immerse the sections in a bowl of cold water and gently roll out the arils with your fingers or a spoon. Discard everything else and strain the water.
• Stir in the blueberries, pomegranate arils and raspberries and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the berries soften slightly.
• Place into serving bowls and top with fresh fig quarters.
