Ingredients

  • 5 peaches pitted and diced (no need to peel)
  • 2 tablespoon sugar white, light brown etc
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoon water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the peaches, sugar, lemon juice and water to a pot, stir and bring to the boil. Allow it to boil for about 5 minutes, stirring often to stop it from scorching.
  2. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer and bubble for 7-10 minutes until the peaches are soft and start to collapse. If you like more sauce, add a little more water and cook for a few more minutes.
  3. Serve warm or allow to cool and store in the fridge for up to 5 days (or freeze for up to 2 months).

Notes

  • I don't peel the peaches for my compote. I like that they add an extra texture to the finished results, though they do soften and break down a lot.
  • You can, however, peel your peaches if you wish. Either use a knife or peeler.
  • Be sure to remove the pits! They are easy to remove. I cut peaches in half, then quarters, then pull the pit out of the quarter that it stayed stuck to.
  • If using underripe peaches, you may want to cook them slightly longer.
  • Instead of sugar, try using brown sugar, coconut sugar, maple syrup or honey.
  • If you want extra syrup with your peach compote, add a little more water.
  • The fruit will naturally thicken the sauce, but if you would like it thicker, simply mix 1 teaspoon cornstarch (cornflour) with 1 tablespoon of water (to form a 'slurry') and stir it to the compote and heat for a few minutes.
