Roasted Citrus Compote

3 cups citrus fruit

2 tablespoons honey

1 tsp vanilla extract

¼ tsp Ground Cardamon

Instructions

Preheat the broiler on your oven while you are segmenting your citrus. Brush a cookie sheet lightly with olive oil or cooking oil of choice.

Now it’s time to supreme your citrus! For three cups, I used two large grapefruits, two oranges, and two blood oranges. Slice the ends off of each side of the citrus. Stand your fruit on one of the flat sides. Starting at the top, cut down the side of the citrus to the base, following the curve of the fruit. The goal is to remove the pith with as little of the flesh as possible. Once all the pith is removed, use a small knife to slice around the segments of the fruit. Remove the slices of citrus and discard the segments. Repeat with remaining fruit.

Place all of your citrus segments into a medium bowl. Add the remaining ingredients, and toss gently to coat. Spread evenly on the prepared cookie sheet.

Broil the fruit for 4-5 minutes, tossing once in the middle. Be gentle, or it will fall apart. Remove from the oven when the fruit juices are bubbly and the citrus is lightly charred.

Remove the citrus from the oven, and transfer to an airtight container. It can be served warm or cold. If you are not using it immediately, refrigerate until you’re ready to use.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Caramelize Before Roasting 🔥
Cut citrus halves and place them cut-side down on a hot pan for 2-3 minutes before roasting to develop deep caramelization and concentrate natural sugars for richer flavor.
Toast Cardamom Seeds Fresh ✨
Buy whole cardamom pods and toast them lightly before grinding—this releases essential oils and creates a more aromatic, complex spice profile than pre-ground cardamom.
Balance Honey Sweetness 🍯
Add honey after roasting rather than before to prevent burning, and taste as you go—citrus acidity will reduce perceived sweetness, so you may need less honey than expected.
Strain for Silky Texture 🧊
After roasting and cooling, strain the compote through a fine mesh sieve to remove bitter white pith and create a luxuriously smooth texture that pairs perfectly with yogurt.
Toast Pistachios Before Serving 🥜
Lightly toast shelled pistachios for 3-4 minutes before chopping and sprinkling to amplify their nutty flavor and add extra textural contrast to the soft compote and creamy yogurt.
