Servings 2 quarts

Ingredients
  

  • 3 nectarines, cut into 1 inch wedges
  • 4 plums, cut into 1 inch wedges
  • 2 apples, cut into 1 inch wedges
  • 2 cups strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 8 cups water
  • vanilla ice cream, optional
  • club soda, optional

Instructions
 

  • Combine fruit, sugar and water in a large pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the fruit softens and starts to release it's juices, about 10 minutes.
  • Taste and adjust for sweetness. Allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours and preferably overnight.
    *See note
  • Ladle cold Kompot into tall glasses along with some of the fruit. Top with a splash of club soda and a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if using. Serve with a long spoon.

Notes

*I usually put the whole pot in the refrigerator but you can also store the Kompot in a Tupperware container. It will stay fresh for several days when refrigerated.
