Equipment
- saucepan
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds peaches about 4 large, peeled, pitted, and cut into ¼-⅓ inch slices*
- 3 tablespoons raw turbinado sugar
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
- 2 tablespoons water
- ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Add the peaches, sugar, bourbon, and water to a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a strong simmer. Cook until the peaches are very tender and the sugar has turned to a thick syrup surrounding the fruit, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and salt.
- Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Serve as a stand-alone dessert with whipped cream or spoon over ice cream, yogurt, or pancakes.
Notes
*Firm peaches were used. Softer, more ripe peaches may have a shorter cooking time and will likely not hold their shape in the compote as they will break down more quickly.
