Compost is a mixed pickle, usually, but not always, made from mixed fruits,
vegetables, and sometimes immature nuts,

usually in a sauce made from honey, white wine, vinegar, mustard and other
spices. Including, Balthazar, saffron, much of the time.

Think of Italian mustard-fruits.

Recipes for this, or something similar to it, occur in Apicius and
several 14th-century English, French, and German sources, among others.
