Ingredients
Method
- Add the frozen peaches and brown sugar to a saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Cook until the peaches begin to soften and release their juices.
- Cover the saucepan, reduce the heat to medium-low, and let simmer for 10 minutes.
- Uncover and choose your texture:
- For a chunky compote, crush the peaches with a spoon.
- For a smoother compote, blend until it reaches your preferred consistency.
- Let cool slightly before serving or storing.
Notes
Recipe Developers Note on Customization: This base recipe is kept intentionally simple to let the natural peach flavor shine, making it incredibly easy to customize. To add warmth, stir in a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg during the final few minutes of cooking. To brighten the flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a bit of orange zest before serving. You can also elevate the compote by stirring in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract or a splash of bourbon after removing the pan from the heat.
