Try this for breakfast or a mid day snack :


Fruit-Bottom Yogurt

It’s best to use stone fruit and berries with this recipe but feel free to experiment.
  • 250g fruit (1/2 lb), peeled and chopped if needed
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • pinch salt
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon cold water
  • 1 3/4 cups plain yogurt, sweetened with 1 tablespoon honey, or to taste.
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
This makes 7, 6 tablespoon servings which is a great size for kids. Feel free to up the amounts for an adult portion.
Keep in mind: You may need to add more honey when using a tart fruit, such as rhubarb.

Ways to switch it up:

This recipe is endlessly adaptable. Here are some ideas of how to switch things up.
  • Stir citrus zest, such as lime or orange, into the compote to add a punch of flavor.
  • Mix up the fruits. Think strawberry-rhubarb, blueberry-plum or nectarine-raspberry.
  • Add flavoring to the yogurt. Making a cherry yogurt? Stir in some almond extract. Making strawberry? Add vanilla.
  • Turn them into a parfait by adding granola on top.



Great idea and recipe:
