Plum, Raspberry and Red Wine Compote with Vanilla Whipped Cream
6 servings
30 minutes
This compote is a true symphony of flavors rooted in Moldovan traditions, where fruits and wine harmoniously blend. The rich aroma of red dry wine infuses sweet plums and delicate raspberries, creating a warm and spicy drink that evokes a sense of coziness. The compote gains noble astringency from prolonged infusion, while the vanilla pod adds light, exquisite notes. Airy whipped cream with vanilla extract makes the dessert refined, adding softness and creamy tenderness. Such a drink is perfect for cold evenings or as a festive treat, surprising with its rich flavor and pleasant warming effect.

In a large bowl, mix the plums cut into 6 pieces and raspberries. In a pot, combine wine, water, and 1.25 cups of sugar. Extract the seeds from the vanilla pod and add only the pod. Place over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat and boil for about 20 minutes until the volume reduces to 2.6 cups. Pour the hot mixture over the plums and raspberries. Cool, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
