Peel and slice the peaches: Start by peeling and slicing ripe, fresh peaches. If the skin is soft, you can leave it on for added texture and color.Prepare the ingredients: In a saucepan, combine the peach slices with a small amount of water. Add sweeteners like honey, sugar, maple syrup, or monk fruit, depending on your preference. Add a splash of lemon juice for a bit of tang.Add spices: Enhance the flavor by adding a pinch of cinnamon, a vanilla bean, or even a star anise for a warm, aromatic twist.Cook the peaches: Simmer the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook until the peaches soften and the liquid reduces to form a syrupy texture. This should take about 10-15 minutes, depending on the ripeness of the peaches.Cool and serve: Let the compote cool before serving. It can be enjoyed warm over pancakes, yogurt, or ice cream, or stored in the fridge to be used later.
