FRUIT
Using the steamer you can make beautiful compote or cook fruit for side dishes. You
can prevent fruit from turning brown by sprinkling with lemon juice before cooking.
Cooking pears develop the full flavour when sprinkled with vinegar. When prepa-
ring fruit for compote you can use the juice of the drip pan for making sauce.
