Black Forest compote
This simple Black Forest compote is made with morello cherries, and uses pectin to help the gel set without needing too much sugar. It makes a great sweet-and-tart topping for chocolatey desserts, and pairs beautifully with coffee as well. Here we've paired it with a little pot of Pots & Co 70% Chocolate Ganache and some grated chocolate. Pots & Co’s full dessert range can be found on their website.
