Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cantaloupe or honeydew melon (peeled, seeded, and cubed)
- 2 cups Fresh peaches (peeled, pitted, and diced)
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 sprigs Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the melon cubes, diced peaches, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir to evenly coat the fruit.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent the fruit from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Once simmering, add the ground cinnamon and vanilla extract. Stir well to incorporate the spices into the compote.
Continue to cook the mixture for 8-10 minutes, or until the fruit softens but still holds its shape and the syrup slightly thickens.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the compote cool to room temperature. The compote will thicken further as it cools.
Transfer the compote to a serving dish or a jar. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Serve the compote as is, or use it as a topping for yogurt, pancakes, waffles, or ice cream. Enjoy!
