Compote is like mashed apple.


Not always is it smashed.

Compote is just cooked/boiled up fruits. It can be apples, peaches, apricots, etc. You don't have to mash it. Kind of similar to a fruit soup, but different. Wow. I really gave a great, clear explanation!

I always think of compote as home made fruit cocktail.

My Zaidy used to own a fruit store in crown heights. he would make compote for us from the old fruit. Ahh, yummy memories!

What is kokosh cake? Something hungarian?
Around here the ashkenazi dessert is compote, in other words cooked soft fruit plus apples, and the sefaradi one is either a type of baklawa dripping in honey syrup or a type of salty cookie, or little morrocan and north african delicacies with very sweet hard sugar coating and chewy inside round cookies (morrocan cookies)

Kokosh cake is closely related to babka.

kokosh cake is the yeast dough rolled out thin - spread with chocolate or cinnamon mixtures ... then rolled up into an oval like shape that you just bake on a cookie sheet

babke is a yeast dough - rolled out thin - spread with chocolate or cinnamon mixtures ... then folded & twisted several ways while filling the spaces with a streusel crumble topping & put into a loaf pan to rise high ... it's all in the technique
