Peach-Thyme Compote
Use the compote in sweet or savory applications. Grilled cheese sandwiches, as a glaze for organic chicken, with crepes, on a biscuit, or as an ice cream topper, this compote will complement your meals for the rest of the summer!
- 2 lbs ripe, firm peaches
- 1/4 cup organic sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 thyme sprig
Bring a medium pot of water to a simmer.
Drop in peaches for 15-30 seconds then remove from simmering water and place in cold water.
Remove skins once cool enough to handle.
Chop peaches, remove stones, and place in a medium saucepan. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a hard boil.
Cook for 5-8 minutes or until peaches are cooked.
Spread cooked peach mixture on a rimmed backing sheet for rapid cooling. Discard thyme sprig.
Store cooled peach compote in a sealable container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
