Cook the fruit with a little sugar and it reduces down into a glossy, fruity sauce that’s perfect for ice cream, oatmeal, pancakes, and more. Flavored with a bit of cinnamon and vanilla, it’s heaven in every bite. We served this over melty vanilla ice cream and we couldn’t stop sneaking spoonfuls.

But if you’re simply craving peach compote, you can use regular ripe peaches or even frozen peaches. You may have to use a little more sugar if you use frozen peaches. Taste it once it’s done and stir in a bit more sugar as needed.
Heat the peaches, sugar and seasonings over medium heat in a saucepan. Cook about 5 minutes, breaking the peaches down with a potato masher. If you want a thicker sauce, you can also dissolve 1 teaspoon cornstarch in 1 tablespoon water and add that to the sauce. But we find it’s thick enough as is!
Serve over vanilla ice cream for dessert Swirl into yogurt and top with granola Add to pancakes as a simple topping Serve over waffles (with a dollop of whipped cream for a decadent treat) Serve over oatmeal, baked oatmeal or overnight oats
