Fig Compote
My grandma used to make these every summer. They are just cooked in sugar water. Although they are so simple, they are so good!
These are just a bit less sweet than jam. If you make them even less sweet they are light and delicious, but they go bad quickly even if you store them in the refrigerator, so eat them up quickly!
The figs exude a lot of moisture, so don't add too much of water. Recipe by OBU

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Wash the figs and discard the stem ends. Add in a pan and cover with sugar. Make sure the figs don't fall apart.
- 2
Swirl in the water and simmer over low-medium heat gently so that the figs don't fall apart.
- 3
I simmered with with an otoshibuta or drop lid made with a scrunched up aluminum foil with several holes poked in it. This also helps remove any scum from the surface.
- 4
When there's almost no moisture left and it has taken on a syrupy consistency, it's done. Transfer to a storage container. It will keep for a while in the refrigerator!
- 5
Add to plain yogurt instead of jam, mix the fig into the yogurt and enjoy. It's pretty sweet, so one fig is enough!

I make these every year when I manage to get some small figs. These fruits are also easy to use for jam. They're delicious.If you don't like the skins on the figs, you can peel them off.This tastes great even if you don't have red wine.Boil the larger figs for a little bit longer.It's probably better to add a little more sugar if you will be storing these for 1 month.

Cherry Compote Cherry Compote
I always make this compote when American cherries are in season.The alcohol will evaporate off, so this is delicious even for those who don't drink alcohol. For children, you can replace the white wine with water. Add the Kirsch before turning off the heat to evaporate the alcohol. By the way, you can also make this with Japanese cherries.

Peach Compote Peach Compote
I used some bruised peaches to make compote. You can eat it plain, but I also recommend using it to make tarts or jelly. Here are the peach compote pieces with yogurt in a different dessert recipe.-In Step 2, if your peaches are soft, be careful not to simmer them for too long.-If you're making a lot at once, you can boil the peaches whole. If boiling whole, extend the boiling time a little. If you want to store the compote for a longer time, increase the amount of sugar and store in a sterilized jar. The amount of sugar in this recipe is reduced, so enjoy as soon as possible. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221 -

I bought lots of peaches, so I wanted to use them while they were still fresh.If the peaches are ripe, you should be able to slightly reduce the simmering time; feel free to make adjustments as you like.If the skin has a deep colour, simmering the peaches with their skins gives the compote a beautiful pink colour (when using white wine).I recommend serving these the following day.

I've loved pears since I was a child. They are delicious fresh, but I wanted to use them when cooking both sweet and savory dishes, so I made a compote.Since the pears will be simmered, choose pears that are on the firm side. You can serve the compote with ice cream, chop it up and put it in yogurt, or use it for hors d'oeuvres, tarts and other sweets. Recipe by Usagi no Cima. -

I wanted to enjoy eating some pears that were a bit lacking just as-is.I think you can use 200g of the syrup from the pear compote.Even pears that are not so sweet will become amazingly delicious when poached like this.The pear compote becomes really delicious when it's chilled in the syrup (the syrup becomes tastier too), so to make the jelly, use well chilled syrup that has been re-heated.
