| Dinner menu starters included pan fried breast of pigeon with pear tempura and gazpacho dressing, and baked Brie with apple and walnut compote. |
| Pile the syllabub in the middle of the pavlova, spreading it out to the edges, then spoon the cherry compote on top. |
| Spoon a portion of plum compote onto the front of the plate and drizzle with syrup. |
| Often these fruits are preserved after the harvest, providing a constant supply of compote year round. |
| I rarely cook a cherry, though this year I made a compote by cooking the fruit, stone in, with a modicum of sugar until they bled deep red juice. |
| On top of that was a smooth layer of mango compote, then a bit of caramel mousse and topped with tender, tiny coconut marshmallows. |
