Step 1: prepare the ingredients.

First, we prepare the fruits, wash the apples under cold running water, dry them with paper kitchen towels, with a sharp kitchen knife, cut each into 2 halves, remove the core with seeds and the stalk from them. After that, if desired, remove the skin from the fruit and cut the parts of the apples into slices or pieces of arbitrary shape 1 centimeter thick.

Peel the oranges so that there are no white fibers left on the pulp, put the citrus on a clean cutting board and cut into rings, half rings, cubes, or simply disassemble it into slices. We also put on the kitchen table the rest of the ingredients that will be needed to prepare the compote, and proceed to the next step.

Step 2: prepare the apple and orange compote.

We put on medium fire pot of purified water and bring it to a boil. As soon as the liquid begins to gurgle, add it there granulated sugar and we are waiting 2-3 minutes until it dissolves. Then we send the sliced ​​apples and oranges to the pan. Bring everything to a boil again and cook the compote 4-5 minutes... Then add dried ground ginger to it using a wooden spoon, mix everything until smooth and turn off the stove. We cover the pan with a lid so that a small gap remains, and let the compote brew 30-40 minutes... After that, you can taste the drink or put it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours and only then serve it.

Step 3: Serve the apple and orange compote.

Apple and orange compote served warm or chilled, or room temperature... With the help of a ladle, it is poured into glasses or bowls and, if desired, are sent to each of several pieces of boiled fruit, and a teaspoon is placed next to it, so that it is convenient to savor this yummy! Enjoy!
Bon Appetit!

Instead of dried ground ginger you can use about 20 grams fresh, chopped into fine grater, but it must be put in a saucepan a minute before the end of boiling the compote;

Very often, instead of ginger, cinnamon or vanilla sugar is added to the drink;

You can cook in the same way apple compote with any citruses: tangerines, lemon, lime, grapefruit, but in this case, the amount of sugar should be adjusted depending on the acidity of the fruit;

If desired, the infused drink can be filtered through a sieve, and the boiled fruits can be served on a separate plate, disposed of or used as a filling for pastries or shortbread.

The apple compote itself is not particularly original, but if you add oranges to it, that's a completely different story.

Apple compote usually does not have a pronounced color. A small amount of orange will only give it a slightly orange hue. But bright berries like plums, chokeberry, currants will strongly color both the drink and the apples in it.

If a compote is made of apples and oranges for future use with double pouring, some of the sugar may remain undissolved. It's not scary. You just need to put the can on its side and roll it slightly. Then put away in a warm place. It is generally recommended to do so with any preservation for better distribution of substances.
