Easy Peach Compote Recipe Is Sweet & Saucy (6 Ingredients, 15 Minutes) Fruit Desserts Breakfast Brunch Side Dishes Gluten-free Budget Recipes Low Sodium Recipes

The end of summer is always bittersweet. One of the things that I miss most when summer ends is all the fresh peaches. That's why I try to enjoy as many of the remaining fresh peaches I can find at my local farmers market or grocery store. Peaches are delicious and nutritious (check out the health benefits of peaches). A few of those ripe peaches got turned into this easy peach compote recipe.

This tender and juicy peach compote is so sweet and saucy. It tastes similar to peach pie – without all the work. To make this simple peach dessert recipe, you need only six ingredients and about 15 minutes. Here's your gluten-free list of ingredients: peaches, water, honey, cinnamon, vanilla extract and fresh lemon juice. You combine the ingredients in a saucepot and simmer until soft and saucy. So easy!

Serve this low-sodium peach compote recipe as a snack any time of day, for dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or as a side dish for many a dinner. I serve them on top of pancakes for a sweet breakfast or weekend brunch treat. So easy and delicious!

Ingredients

• 3 large ripe peaches, chopped (about 3 cups)
• 2 tablespoons water
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Recipe Notes

• I used fresh peaches, but you can use frozen peaches instead.

• I left the skin on the peaches, but you can peel them if you prefer.

• You can substitute maple syrup for the honey, if desired.

• I prefer to squeeze my own fresh lemon juice, but you can use bottled in a pinch.

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave.

Here's how to make it:

1. In a saucepot over medium heat, add all the ingredients and stir to combine. Bring to a boil.
2. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until peaches are soft and saucy.
3. Remove from heat. Serve or store in refrigerator until ready to serve. They taste even better the next day!
