make an incision down the middle, not quite to the two

I find, all through the year, that a compote is a much 

 more popular way of cooking fruit than in a tart. The 

 great secret of making compotes is to stew some fruits,

 Eed Currants are not good unless stewed for some time in 

 an earthenware dish in the oven. Easpberries are quite 

 spoilt by this treatment.
