Summer Fruit Compote
Although this compote is perfect during summer when peaches and strawberries are in season, it is actually delicious any time of year if frozen fruit is used.
Ingredients
2 cups sliced fresh peaches (peeled, if desired) or frozen sliced peaches
2 cups hulled fresh strawberries or frozen strawberries
1/2 cup white grape juice concentrate or apple juice concentrate
Preparation
Combine all of the ingredients in a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the fruit just becomes soft.
Serve warm or thoroughly chilled, by itself or over fruit sorbet or vanilla nondairy ice cream.
Stored in a covered container in the refrigerator, leftover Summer Fruit Compote will keep for up to 3 days.
