Question
Q. Is it permitted to make compote from Shemitta fruits?
Answer
A. It is permitted to cook fruits and vegetables of the Shemitta year that are normally cooked, in the same way they are cooked in other years. Therefore, it is permitted to make compote and jam from fruits that are commonly used in this way. However, fruits that are not normally cooked may not be cooked.
