Method
 

Fruit Compote
  1. Add all fruit compote ingredients to a saucepan, stir and bring to a boil. Allow the mixture to boil for 5 mintues, stirring often.
  2. After 5 minutes, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes. The mixture will thicken as it cools. Serve warm or let cool and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
French Toast
  1. Slice your bread or cut into sticks (for french toast sticks).
  2. Place all batter ingredients into a shallow bowl and whisk together to combine until smooth.
  3. Depending on the size of your bowl, add one to two slices of bread at a time to the batter mixture and leave for a few seconds to soak and turn over so both sides are evenly coated.
  4. Melt 1 tbsp of butter in a frying pan over gentle heat. Once melted, add the batter-soaked bread and cook for 4 – 5 minutes until browned before turning over and cooking for another 3 – 4 minutes on the other side. Continue to soak and cook the remaining pieces of bread.
  5. Divide the french toast slices between plates. Top with fresh fruit compote and maple syrup. Enjoy!
