Peach Compote

Directions

1. 1
   Cut the peaches in half, peel, and remove the pits.
2. 2
   Put the ingredients into a pot and dissolve the sugar.
3. 3
   Add the peaches and cook over medium heat.
4. 4
   When it comes to a boil, turn the heat to low and simmer for 5-10 minutes (turn the peaches halfway through cooking).
5. 5
   Let the peaches from Step 2 sit in the pot until they cool off.
6. 6
   Then put them in a container and refrigerate.
7. 7
   If you are making compote with just 1 peach, add 200 ml of water, 2 tablespoons of white wine, 3 - 4 tablespoons of sugar, and 2 teaspoons of lemon juice and simmer.
8. 8
   There won't be enough of the simmering liquid, so tip the pot while it's simmering to keep the peach steeped in flavor.
9. 9
   If you want to give it a deep pink color, add the peach peels to the pot of simmering liquid (buy the reddest peaches you can find for this).
10. 10
    Strain the simmering liquid with a tea strainer before refrigerating.
11. 11
    Wait for at least half a day before eating.
