Overnight Oats With Picota Cherry Fruit Compote

Overnight Oats With Picota Cherry Fruit Compote Recipe. Happy Tuesday, friends, so how are you today? Overnight oats, anyone?

Over the last few weeks, I have teamed up with Jerte Picota Cherries to share a variety of recipes using their scrumptious cherries.

This post is commissioned for Jerte Picota Cherries.

Last week I made some tasty Afternoon Cherry Scones With Cream And Jerte Picota Cherries and today I am sharing some Overnight Oats With Picota Cherry Fruit Compote.

Overnight Oats With Picota Cherry Fruit Compote Recipe:

Overnight oats with Picota cherry fruit compote offer a delicious, nutritious, and easy-to-make breakfast option.

This dish combines the creamy texture of oats soaked in milk or a plant-based alternative overnight, absorbing the flavours while softening to perfection.

About The Jerte Picota Cherry:

About The Jerte Picota Cherry. The Jerte Picota Cherry is a special variety of cherry that is native to the beautiful Jerte Valley in Northern Extremadura, Spain, 200km west of Madrid.

This area is famous for the incredible cherry blossom of more than a million trees that takes place each year.

It is a 100% natural product that follows a natural growing season, which is why the arrival of the Jerte Picota Cherry changes each year and why they are only available for six weeks each summer.

When the cherries are ready to be harvested at optimum ripeness, they are hand-picked off the trees, leaving the stalks behind, and placed into chestnut baskets. This is why they are sold without a stalk.

Jerte Picota Cherries are usually available from the end of June until the beginning of August in the UK, and they are expected to arrive in stores from the beginning of July, due to the cold winter this year.

The Jerte Picota Cherry is a P.D.O. Product (P.D.O. standing for Protected Designation of Origin) which certifies that the fruit has been grown, harvested and packed under rigorous quality-controlled procedures and has come exclusively from the Jerte Valley in Spain.

The Jerte Picota is not only unique from its P.D.O. status but also from its stalkless harvest and its shape, which has a slight peak to the base, hence the word ‘Picota’ means ‘peaked’.

How To Make Overnight Oats With Picota Cherry Fruit Compote:

Overnight Oats With Picota Cherry Fruit Compote Recipe. Serves 2.

The star of the recipe is the Picota cherry compote, made by simmering fresh, juicy Picota cherries with a touch of sweetness, creating a rich, tangy sauce that complements the oats beautifully.

The naturally sweet, slightly tart cherries not only add vibrant colour but also provide a boost of vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants.

Topped with a spoonful of the compote, nuts, or seeds for added crunch, this breakfast is a perfect balance of flavours, textures, and nutrition.
