Start this recipe at least 1 – 2 days before serving.
Place all the ingredients in large bowl and cover with cold water. Stir well and set aside in a cool place or the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
Stir the compote a couple of times each day. Add more orange juice if the compote becomes too dry, it should be quite syrupy. Before serving, add more cinnamon and nutmeg to taste.
