Have you thought about the apple compote cooked in the old way for your offers of desserts “form and nutrition”?

According to an article in a French professionnel magazine : “Whether in jars, flasks, cans or now in Tetra Paks, compotes are at the crossroads of four major consumer trends: eating better; authenticity and tradition; practicality; greed and pleasure. As a result, sales of the category jumped 75% between 2008 and 2016 compared to 11% for the total sweet grocery category! “

In recent years the craze for this healthy dessert has been confirmed with young and old alike, and snacking and nutrition trends have also taken hold!

Are you looking for a healthy, low-sugar fruit-based dessert for your snacking, catering or takeaway offer? Why not compotes?

What is called a “compote”?

Apple compote has often become a recipe that you make yourself or that you buy in the fresh produce section, most of the time without any pieces: applesauce made from very finely blended fruit, low-fat or sugar-free compote, combined seasonal fruit, etc

If you are one of those who like healthy and low-sugar fruit-based desserts, you should look for authentic compotes to offer to your customers.

Do you know what it means to stew a fruit?

It means to cook very slowly fruits in pieces, more or less big, with a liquid (water, juice, etc.) and sugar, so that they are reduced to a kind of purée.

Why is apple compote considered a “shape and nutrition” dessert?

Legally, the name “compote” is used for a product obtained by cooking one or more fruits, in pieces (with a minimum of 10% fruit pieces) or whole, sieved or not, and sugar(s). The compote must have a minimum sugar content of 24% after cooking.

There is also a legal term for “low-sugar compote”: it must have a sugar content reduced by at least 30% compared to standard compote.

It is therefore quite natural that the compote is positioned in our minds as a “shape and nutrition” dessert:

• fruit-based
• with little sugar added during cooking and a low sugar concentration after cooking the compote
• Simple and easy to eat at any age and at any time
