Ingredients
- 2 cups Cantaloupe or honeydew melon (peeled, seeded, and cubed)
- 2 cups Fresh peaches (peeled, pitted, and diced)
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 sprigs Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the melon cubes, diced peaches, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir to evenly coat the fruit.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent the fruit from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Step 3
Once simmering, add the ground cinnamon and vanilla extract. Stir well to incorporate the spices into the compote.
Step 4
Continue to cook the mixture for 8-10 minutes, or until the fruit softens but still holds its shape and the syrup slightly thickens.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the compote cool to room temperature. The compote will thicken further as it cools.
Step 6
Transfer the compote to a serving dish or a jar. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Step 7
Serve the compote as is, or use it as a topping for yogurt, pancakes, waffles, or ice cream. Enjoy!
