Serves 8

Ingredients

Water
1 cup
Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon
Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon
Lemon juice
2 tablespoons
Granulated sugar
1/2 cup
Nectarines
4, pitted and sliced
Peaches
4, pitted and sliced

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the sliced peaches, nectarines, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and water.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the fruits are tender and the syrup has thickened slightly.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the compote to cool for a few minutes before serving.
  5. Serve warm or chilled. This compote can be enjoyed on its own or as a delightful topping for yogurt, ice cream, pancakes, or even as a filling for pastries.

Tips

  • 💡 For added depth of flavor, consider adding a splash of bourbon or brandy during the simmering process.
  • 💡 Try substituting the peaches or nectarines with other seasonal fruits like plums or apricots for a different taste experience.
  • 💡 If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the compote with an immersion blender after it cools slightly.
