Ingredients
- Peaches
- 4, peeled and diced
- Apricots
- 4, pitted and diced
- Sugar
- 1/2 cup, or to taste
- Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Water
- 1/2 cup
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the diced peaches, apricots, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and water.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the compote simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the fruits are tender and the liquid has thickened slightly.
- Remove from heat and allow the compote to cool for about 10 minutes. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Serve the compote warm or chilled. It pairs wonderfully with yogurt, pancakes, waffles, or as a topping for ice cream.
Tips
- For an extra depth of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg while the compote simmers.
