Peel and core the fruit, cut into pieces and cook in a little white wine until soft. Then puree the fruit.
When the mass has cooled down, add the egg yolks and the saffron dissolved in a little water. Then add a little cinnamon, coriander and cardamom. (If you don`t like it that hearty, you can use two tablespoons of rice flour as a substitute for two of the six eggs.) Then the compote is brought to the boil again, divided into bowls and allowed to cool.
To serve, make a mixture of sugar, cinnamon, coriander and cardamom and sprinkle with the compote. Finally pour melted butter over it.
