Ingredients
- 4 ripe peaches diced - see notes
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Dice the peaches then add them, the maple syrup, and the lemon juice to a small pot.
- Bring the pot to a simmer of medium-high heat. Continue to simmer the peaches, uncovered and stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. The peaches should be soft but still in distinct pieces and the liquid starting to thicken a little - it will thicken more as it cools. If you'd prefer more of a sauce, continue to simmer the peaches until they've broken down as much as you'd like.
- Let the peaches cool slightly before you serve them. Or transfer the hot peach compote to sterilized jars for canning. This compote will keep well for up to 5 days in your fridge.

Notes
- We prefer not to peel the peaches, which makes a wonderfully rustic compote. If you want to peel the peaches, cut a shallow X at the bottom of each peach then put them into a pot of boiling water for one minute. After a minute, scoop them out and put them in a bowl of cold water. Once they're cool, the skin will peel off easily.
- If you're planning on canning this compote, make sure to peel the peaches as the skin will turn an unpleasant dark color over time.
