A safe way to introduce fruit and fiber into your diet!
Nothing like a homemade granny-style treat to fill a void or just to enjoy, right?
Jams, in addition to being delicious, are a safe way to introduce fruit and fiber into your diet.
But to make the most of canned fruit, consume it or serve it after meals in moderation, okay? And remember: in general, these desserts are vegan when they don’t contain ingredients of animal origin!
Ah, and if you want to keep it longer (to take advantage of the fruit picking, for example), distribute the compote in sterilized jars with lids and boil them for 20 minutes with half the height of the water. Leave to cool and store in the pantry for up to 6 months.
