- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions
Step 1
Peel the oranges, making sure to remove all the white pith. Slice one orange into rounds and set aside. Juice the second orange and reserve the juice.

In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped dates, reserved orange juice, and water.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 4
Stir in the honey (or maple syrup), ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Step 5
Add the sliced orange rounds to the saucepan and gently simmer the mixture for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the dates have softened and the mixture thickens.
Step 6
Remove the compote from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Step 7
Serve the compote warm or at room temperature. Enjoy it as a topping for yogurt, granola, pancakes, or desserts, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
