A chunky fruit compote made from apricots – juicy, spiced, and the classic accompaniment to Kaiserschmarrn.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGruber's Apricot Compote\u003c\/strong\u003e is a handmade compote from Reigersberg near Ilz in Eastern Styria, which means it is a chunky fruit preserve. It is made from apricots with sugar and spices. 210 g in a jar, with no gelling agents, no preservatives, and no artificial coloring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--nl--\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGruber's Apricot Compote\u003c\/strong\u003e is a typical Austrian side dish that is rarely known by name in Germany. A \"Röster\" is a chunky fruit compote. Traditionally, the fruit is stewed with sugar in its own juices until soft, but still retaining its shape. The result lies somewhere between a compote and a jam: juicier than a jam, but thicker than a compote with lots of liquid. The most famous version in Austria is the plum compote (Zwetschkenröster) served with Kaiserschmarrn. Using apricots, it becomes a lighter, summery variation. The \"Fruchtzauberei\" (fruit magic) adds spices that give the compote depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApricot pieces, juice, and a spicy note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe compote tastes of ripe apricots, fruity with the characteristic fine acidity of the fruit. The spices remain in the background, making the flavor warmer and more rounded. The sweetness is noticeable, but the fruit remains the star. When warmed, the compote releases more aroma than when cold, which is why heating it up briefly is almost always worth it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike apricot jam, this compote is chunky. On the spoon, you will find pieces of fruit in their own juice, not a smooth, gelatinous mass. If you are looking for a spreadable apricot preserve for a breakfast roll or for glazing a cake, you are better off choosing a jam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKaiserschmarrn, curd cheese dumplings, and vanilla ice cream\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts rightful place is next to the Kaiserschmarrn. Simply heat it up briefly in a small saucepan and place it on the table in a bowl. Everyone can help themselves to as much as they like. It belongs just as much with curd cheese dumplings (Topfenknödel), semolina pancakes (Grießschmarrn), yeast dumplings (Germknödel), and thin crepes (Palatschinken).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eServed cold, it goes well with vanilla ice cream, plain yogurt, or curd cheese cream. Over semolina pudding or rice pudding, it turns into a fruit sauce with pieces. For a quick dessert, pour it warm over a scoop of ice cream and sprinkle with a few toasted almond flakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt also has its place at breakfast: in porridge, on pancakes, or in muesli with yogurt. And if you like cheese, try it with young goat cheese or ricotta. A spoonful of compote on a piece of curd cheese strudel (Topfenstrudel) is the shortcut to a perfect afternoon coffee break.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Make a curd cheese pancake (Topfenschmarrn) instead of a Kaiserschmarrn, with curd cheese in the batter. Served with warm compote and powdered sugar, this is how a Sunday in Styria tastes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAn Austrian classic from the \"Fruit Magic\" workshop\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe compote comes from Gruber's Fruchtzauberei, a small family business in Reigersberg near Ilz in Eastern Styria. The history of the farm dates back to 1860, and since the early 1990s, fruit growing has been the focus, primarily apples. René is a master fruit grower and responsible for cultivation, while Beatrix is a chef who turns the fruit into jams, compotes, and ragouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe two develop new recipes by tasting and experimenting until the flavor is just right. Everything is handmade, under the motto \"Quality over quantity.\" The compote can be bought in their farm shop, at selected retailers, and here at Leni \u0026amp; Hans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor fans of sweet dishes and travelers to Austria\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe compote is for everyone who loves Kaiserschmarrn, curd cheese dumplings, and Palatschinken and wants a ready-made side dish in their pantry. It suits people who have discovered Austrian cuisine on vacation, and families who enjoy cooking sweet dishes on the weekend. It makes a perfect souvenir for anyone who experienced Kaiserschmarrn with compote during their last mountain hut vacation and wants to recreate it at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you prefer a smooth, spreadable apricot preserve, we offer \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/marillenkonfituere\"\u003eApricot Jam\u003c\/a\u003e.
