Nectarine and Mango Compote
Dive into the vibrant flavors of summer with this luscious Nectarine and Mango Compote. Bursting with the sweetness of ripe nectarines and succulent mangoes, this delightful dish is enhanced by a hint of honey and a splash of zesty lemon juice. Fresh mint leaves add a refreshing twist, making it a perfect topping for desserts or a delightful addition to breakfast.

Ingredients
- Nectarines
- 4, diced
- Mangoes
- 2, diced
- Honey
- 2 tablespoons
- Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon
- Fresh mint leaves
- 1/4 cup, chopped
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the diced nectarines, diced mangoes, honey, and lemon juice.
- Cook over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Allow the fruits to soften and the mixture to thicken slightly. The compote should be fragrant and the juices should meld beautifully.

- Stir in the chopped fresh mint leaves for a burst of freshness.
- Serve the compote warm or chilled, as a topping for yogurt, ice cream, pancakes, or simply enjoy it on its own.
- For a fun twist, consider adding a dash of cinnamon or a splash of orange juice to the mixture during cooking for added depth of flavor.
Tips
- For a thicker compote, cook it a little longer until it reaches your desired consistency.
- This compote can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, making it perfect for meal prep.
