Whole pieces, hand-cooked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApricot Röster\u003c\/strong\u003e is a cooked-down apricot compote produced by Bettina Fink-Haberl. 81 percent golden-yellow apricots are carefully cooked down with sugar, lemon juice, and a splash of rum – as a result, the Röster contains a small amount of alcohol. In Austria, such a compote with whole fruits is called a \"Röster,\" and that is exactly what it is: lots of fruit, very little else. The high fruit content of 81 percent makes it almost pure apricot, simply cooked down and preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGolden-yellow apricot with a fine hint of rum\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aroma is sunny and fruity, backed by a warm, fine note of rum. Just opening the jar builds anticipation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Röster tastes intensely of apricot, with that typical delicate acidity and a warm depth from the rum. The fruits remain in whole pieces; the syrup is fruity rather than overly sweet. The rum gives it a gentle warmth without dominating. Fruity, sunny, and warm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 81 percent fruit, the jar is above all one thing: lots of apricot. The rum remains in the background, giving the compote a sophisticated note. The very first spoonful makes it clear where the fruit comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWith Germknödel, curd strudel, and ice cream\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApricot Röster is the classic Austrian accompaniment to sweet flour-based dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServed warm, it belongs over Kaiserschmarrn (shredded pancake) and curd dumplings, with poppy seed noodles, on waffles, and alongside a chocolate mousse. Over vanilla ice cream or vanilla pudding, it becomes a quick dessert, and it serves as the fruity heart of a Germknödel (yeast dumpling). It is also a fine companion to a piece of curd strudel. Because it contains rum, it is intended more for adults.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you like other varieties, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/finks-delikatessen-zwetschken-roester\"\u003ePlum Röster\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/finks-delikatessen-kirsch-roester\"\u003eCherry Röster\u003c\/a\u003e are available as well.

Wolfgang Hackl is a household name in the Weinviertel region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWolfgang Hackl has been cultivating around 23,000 apricot trees near Atzelsdorf in the Weinviertel since he took over his parents' farm in 2009. Only fully ripe fruits provide enough aroma to warrant an 81 percent content in the jar. Every tree requires care year-round – summer pruning after the harvest, early thinning in the spring, and fertilization with compost. Bettina Fink-Haberl, who founded her manufactory in 2002, pits and cooks the fruit by hand in Walkersdorf near Ilz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLots of ripe fruit, a splash of rum, craftsmanship – this creates a Röster with character. You can taste that ripe fruit, not sugar, plays the leading role here.

That is when its full aroma comes into its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBriefly heated, it unfolds its scent over Kaiserschmarrn or ice cream. Once opened, the jar should be kept in the refrigerator, where it will keep well. The rum makes it a sophisticated companion for a Sunday dessert, while a spoonful in winter provides warmth from within. A jar that turns every Sunday dessert into a small celebration and makes for a lovely gift. Warm, fruity, festive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fink's Delikatessen","offers":[{"title":"400 ml","offer_id":53071267660110,"sku":"044FIN1447","price":14.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/1124\/5646\/files\/finks-marillen-roester.jpg?v=1750981692","url":"https:\/\/norgutes.com\/en\/products\/finks-delikatessen-marillen-roester","provider":"nur Gutes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
