Pealed and cut up the apples, dumped 'em in a pot with the berries, a bit of water, a nice glob of honey, and a splash of lemon juice. Is this fruit soup or cheesecake topping?
Wouldn't it be a compote?

Trust my rage
I say compote, but it would make an awesome cobbler if you added a crust.

That's the word I was looking for!!! at any rate, muy delicioso!
I make a super easy applesauce with peeled & cut up apples (say about 7 or so), 1 cup of sparkling cider, 1 cup-ish of dried cranberries, and about a tablespoon of lemon juice. All cooked up until the apples are whatever consistency you like. so good!

Is the question what it is, or what you should use it for? I vote ice cream topping. Or make biscuits and make it a fruit shortcake kind of thing.

{{Fay}} Maybe if you write out the RPF indulgently it'll take up less brainspace?
Waiting and unpacking~ma, Sparky! I wish you better luck than I had.
I think vw is right with calling it compote. Though I have seen fruit soup on fancy menus.

This is what we used it for at Thanksgiving. One of the pies we made from scratch (a triple berry/cherry pie...mmmmmmm!) had too much filling for the pie plate, so we just baked it and put it on ice cream. My aunt kept asking what it was and wouldn't take "compote" as an answer, because she'd never heard the word. So, finally, my SIL went and got the dictionary and read her the definition. That shut her up.

Behold the power of the dictionary.
I bet WS's compote would be delish with pork chops or any roast beast.

Fay, what's an "academic daughter"? I'm a little slow on the uptake today.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
One Christmas the cranberry sauce turned out crazy thin (no idea how that happened) so I poured it over cheese cake.
So. Good.
