Recipe via Food52

Compote is a simplified version of jam that can be enjoyed in a variety of was from at breakfast to a cheese complement and with dessert. The three most important components are a generous helping of fruit, some source of acid, like fresh lemon, lime or vinegar, and a sweetener like maple syrup, sugar, agave or honey. The creativity comes in with the other items you use to create  your flavor profile. Other ingredients that can be used are vanilla, cinnamon, allspice, lemon zest, or even a hint of chili. If you don’t have much of a sweet tooth, a savory compote can be created using eggplant as well. The versatility of ingredients is the best part about these creative condiments!

Ingredients:

• 3 cups Fresh fruit
• (suggested fruits include all berries, apples, peaches, and pears)
• 1 Lemon or lime, juiced
• 3 tbsp. Water
• 1/4 cup Sugar

Directions:

Cut off any inedible parts of your fruit, squeeze the juice of your lemon or lime, and prepare your other preferred ingredients. Toss everything into a saucepan.

Set the mixture on the stove over low heat, then forget about it. When the aroma of fresh berries comes wafting from your kitchen, give it a stir or two. Allow the fruit to break down as much or as little as you like. When the fruit is to your desired level of softness and the whole thing looks glossy, the compote is done. Don't worry if it seems thin -- it will thicken as it cools.

Give the compote a taste, then adjust the flavorings until sweet, sour, and savory meet in your ideal balance. Stir in some chopped, dried fruit for texture. You can also purée the mixture until smooth, thinning it out as needed with water. Once cooled, store your compote in a tightly sealed jar and keep refrigerated for up to two weeks.
