Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Peaches (4, peeled and diced)
  • Raspberries (2 cups, fresh or frozen)
  • Granulated sugar (1/2 cup)
  • Lemon juice (2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed)
  • Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
  • Water (1/4 cup)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the diced peaches, raspberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and water.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar and prevent sticking.
  3. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and let the compote cook gently for about 10 minutes, or until the peaches are tender and the raspberries have broken down into a sauce.
  4. Remove from heat and allow the compote to cool slightly before serving. This can be served warm or chilled, depending on your preference.
  5. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
