Method

Simmer the wine, orange juice, zest, dried fruit, sugar, and spice in a pan for six minutes.

Serve the compôte in a bowl topped with the caramelised chestnuts.

Spread the chestnut mixture onto a greased non-stick baking sheet to cool.

Coat the chestnuts in the caramel and stir in the lemon juice.

Melt 100g sugar in a frying pan over gentle heat to create a smooth caramel.

Stir the cornflour slurry into the compôte until the sauce thickens.

Whisk the cornflour and 25ml water in a bowl until the mixture is smooth.
