3. Add the honey, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and water to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
4. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruits break down and the compote thickens.
5. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon zest for a bright, fresh finish.
6. Allow the compote to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, chilled, or at room temperature as desired.
7. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
