This is one of those quietly powerful recipes – simple, comforting and far more special than it first appears. Inspired by winter citrus bowls from the Middle East and Mediterranean, this compote layers vitamin-rich fruit with Greenfields spices known for their warming, soothing and protective qualities. Spoon it over breakfast bowls, swirl through yoghurt, or enjoy warm by the spoonful when you’re feeling a bit run-down. It’s gentle, nourishing and feels like self-care in a saucepan.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
3 large oranges, peeled and sliced
1 pink grapefruit, peeled and sliced
1 lemon, zest and juice
3 tbsp Greek Blossom Honey (or Shahd Honey for deeper flavour)
4 Green Cardamom Pods, lightly crushed
1 tsp Ground Ginger
½ tsp Ground Cinnamon
¼ tsp Turmeric Powder
1 small piece fresh ginger (optional), sliced
150 ml water
Pinch Himalayan Pink Salt (Fine)
Add the water, honey, cardamom pods, ground ginger, cinnamon, turmeric and salt to a medium saucepan. Bring gently to a simmer.
Add the citrus slices, lemon zest and fresh ginger if using. Stir carefully so the fruit stays mostly intact.
Simmer on a low heat for 15–20 minutes until the citrus softens and the liquid becomes lightly syrupy.
Remove from the heat and stir through the lemon juice.
Allow to cool slightly – the flavours deepen beautifully as it rests. Remove cardamom pods before serving if desired.
