Strawberry Peach Compote
A summer staple of compotes using fresh berries and summertime peaches. This is also freezer friendly so make a batch to enjoy for the winter months ahead.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of strawberries hulled and diced small
- 2 yellow peaches pitted and diced small
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Hull your strawberries and cut into 1/4 inch dice chunks. Remove the pits from each of your stone fruits and dice into 1/4 inch chunks.
- In your saucepan, add in the diced peaches and strawberries and 1/2 cup of packed light brown sugar. Stir to combine then bring to a simmer over medium low heat, stirring occasionally, until the fruits release their juices and begin to break down and soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add in the kosher salt, lemon juice, and the sprigs of thyme and stir to combine. Allow the compote to simmer, stirring every couple of minutes, for the next 10 to 15 minutes. The liquid will become syrupy and slightly thickened with the chunks of fruit softening but still retaining their texture.
- Remove from heat. Stir in your vanilla extract. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Allow to cool slightly before serving or cool to room temp before storing in your fridge or freezer.
