But all this can be fixed. Compote can be cooked with the addition of other fruits or berries. Kiwi will give a pleasant color and delicate sourness, and other fruits will share their taste with kiwi.

An excellent combination is provided by kiwi with strawberries, apples, quince, tangerines...

You can enhance the taste of kiwi without this by adding spicy seasonings to the compote. Cinnamon, mint and cloves have proven themselves well. They do not overwhelm the taste of kiwi, but add their own notes.
