Fruit Compote

Candied Walnuts

Honey

Method

Fruit Compote

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fruit Compote

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh mixed berries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir gently to combine.

  2. 2

    Cook the Mixture

    Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the berries have softened and the sauce has thickened slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.

Candied Walnuts

  1. 3

    Prepare the Walnuts

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the walnuts and stir to coat them in the butter.

  2. 4

    Add Sugar and Salt

    Sprinkle the granulated sugar and salt over the walnuts, stirring continuously for about 5-7 minutes until the sugar has melted and the walnuts are golden brown. Remove from heat and allow to cool on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Honey

  1. 5

    Prepare the Honey

    Measure out the honey and set aside for drizzling over the cheese board.
