Compote and Starch Kissel

Not sure what to do with leftover compote? Turn it into a delicious kissel! Whenever I have compote left over, I know just what to do with it — I make kissel. It's especially handy in winter, when there are no fresh berries but plenty of compote on hand. Add more starch and the treat becomes thick enough to eat with a spoon. You can also stir in a few spices, and it will take on whole new layers of flavor.

    1. Strain the compote and pour it into a saucepan. You can also blend the berries into a purée or leave them whole — it's up to your taste. 2. Set the pan on the stove and bring it to a boil. 3. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice from each half. 4. Dissolve the starch in a cup of cold water. 5. Once the compote boils, reduce the heat and pour in the dissolved starch in a thin stream, stirring constantly. 6. Pour in the lemon juice and stir everything thoroughly. 7. Bring the contents of the pan back to a boil (now is a good time to taste it for sweetness and add sugar if needed), then remove it from the stove. 8. Wait for the kissel to cool. Serve it warm or fully chilled.
