Ready in under 30 minutes this fruity delight is quick, easy, and oh so delicious! It’s so easy to be lured into the fruit section of the grocery store this time of year.  All those fresh, colorful fruits look so inviting.  I am famous for overbuying and then scrambling for a way to use my ripe fruit before it goes bad.  Fruit compote is a great way around the problem.

What Is Fruit Compote?

This dish is simply seasonal fruits cooked in sugar and butter and served as an accompaniment for desserts and breakfasts. You can serve it with my Easy No Churn Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, or drizzled over my Sour Cream Pancakes, delicious!

Step By Step Instructions

Peel and slice peaches. Add to a pan with blueberries and orange zest. Add the strawberries, sugar, butter and heat over a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Serve and enjoy! This is a great dish to have in your fridge to drizzle over yogurt, pancakes for breakfast, or with ice cream for dessert.  I have to say that it tastes just as good warm as it does cold so be sure to try it both ways!
