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.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the compote after it has cooled to your desired consistency.
- This compote can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
