Peach And Apple Compote Recipes

Steps:

• Toss apples, peaches, sugar, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, and salt in a medium bowl. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Once butter is melted, add fruit mixture and cook, tossing occasionally, until fruit is golden brown and caramelized, 5-7 minutes. Add cider to skillet, reduce heat to low, and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally and adding splashes of water if liquid reduces too quickly, until juices are syrupy and fruit is tender, 15-20 minutes. Let cool slightly, then stir in lemon juice. Do Ahead: Compote can be made 3 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. Gently reheat before serving, if desired.

Steps:

• Start with our step-by-step canning how-to.
• Sterilize four 8-ounce canning jars and lids.
• Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest from the lemons in wide strips, leaving the bitter white pith behind. Squeeze the lemon juice through a strainer into a large, wide saucepan. Add the zest, wine, sugar, honey, mustard seeds, peppercorns and red pepper flakes. Tie the rosemary and bay leaves together with twine and add to the pan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid thickens and a candy or deep-fry thermometer registers 220 degrees F, about 10 minutes.
• Add the peaches and dried fruit to the pan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until the peaches are just tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat; discard the herbs.
• Fill the jars with the peach mixture, leaving 3/4 inch headspace, then seal and process.

Steps:

• Combine the peaches, apples, raisins, currants, apricots and cinnamon in a crock pot.
• Stir in the water, lemon juice and peel, and sugar.
• Cover and cook on low until the fruit is tender, 5 to 7 hours.
• Discard the cinnamon stick.
• Serve topped with vanilla ice cream or yogurt, if desired.

Steps:

• Place apples and water in a heavy saucepan and stir over medium-high heat until the mixture is bubbling. Reduce heat to low and cover. Cook, stirring often, until the apples have cooked down but still have some texture, 15 to 20 minutes. Add sugar, lemon or lime juice, and spices, cover and simmer for another 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool, or serve warm or hot.
