Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large fresh peaches
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Wash the peaches and blueberries thoroughly under cool running water.
Peel the peaches. To make this easy, score a small 'X' at the bottom of each peach, blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, and immediately transfer them to an ice bath. The skins should slide off easily.
Pit the peaches and cut them into small, bite-sized chunks.
In a medium saucepan, combine the peach chunks, blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently to combine the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, until the fruit softens, and the mixture begins to thicken. Avoid over-stirring to maintain the texture of the fruit.
Remove the compote from heat and stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
Allow the compote to cool slightly before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.
Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled over your favorite dishes like pancakes, waffles, yogurt, or ice cream. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
