Here’s a delicious stone fruit compote recipe—simple, lightly sweetened, and versatile for topping yogurt, pancakes, oatmeal, or even savory dishes.

🍑 Stone Fruit Compote Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 cups mixed stone fruit, pitted and chopped (peaches, plums, nectarines, apricots, cherries)

• ¼ cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional, for warmth)

• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

• 1–2 tablespoons water (as needed)

Instructions

1. Prepare Fruit
   Wash, pit, and chop your choice of stone fruits into bite-sized pieces.

2. Cook
   In a medium saucepan, combine the fruit, honey/maple syrup, lemon juice, and water. Stir well.

3. Simmer
   Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then lower to a simmer. Cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit softens and the mixture thickens slightly.

4. Add Flavor
   Stir in ginger and cinnamon (if using) during the last few minutes of cooking. Taste and adjust sweetness.

5. Cool & Store
   Remove from heat and let cool. The compote will thicken further as it cools. Store in a glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
