Provided by Beth Renzetti @elmotoo

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound(s) fruit such as apples, pears, plums, berries
6 cup(s) water
1/2 - 2 cup(s) sugar ~ to taste
1 stick(s) cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon(s) nutmeg, freshly grated

Steps:

Wash fruit in cold water and cut into small pieces. Remove all pits and inedible seeds.
Place fruit in a large kettle and add 6 c. water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce heat to low, add 1/2 c. sugar, and stir. Cover and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes.
Depending on the combination of fruits you have used, you may want to add more sugar. (Add sugar sparingly-if kompot tastes sweet when hot, it will taste even sweeter when cold.)
Add cinnamon stick and nutmeg and stir well. Simmer for another 10 minutes. (*I* would add these at the beginning)
Remove cinnamon stick before serving. Serve hot, or chill and serve cold.
