In Spain there are lots of traditional Christmas Puddings and sweets to enjoy this time of the year.
Confections like "turron" (made with eggs, almonds and honey nougat), "polvorones" and "mantecados" (soft and crumbly shortbread made with almonds, sugar, flour and milk) are very popular like in many areas of Spain.
But I would like to center today on a traditional Basque Dessert: The Basque Compote
This compote is made mainly with cooked apples and cinnamon and it has been a traditional way to compensate the traditional heavy dishes that we eat during Christmas celebrations.
