Peach Compote

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. Recipe by Pu-kosan

Ingredients

2 servings
  1. 3Peaches
  2. 400 ml※ White or red wine (your choice)
  3. 100 grams※Sugar (granulated)
  4. 2 tbsp※Lemon juice
  5. 2 tbspPeach liqueur (optional)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Wash the peaches well, remove the peach fuzz, then slice the peach in half along its crease, cutting all the way down to the seed. Scoop out the seed with a spoon.

  2. 2

    Place the ingredients marked with a ※ in a pot, bring to a boil, then add the peaches and bring to a boil again. Skim off any scum, use a paper towel or sheet of aluminum foil as a drop lid, and simmer for about 10 minutes over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Allow it to gently boil.

  4. 4

    Flip the peaches over 2-3 times while cooking. Turn off the heat, add the peach liqueur, and allow it to cool in the pot. (The photo shows it with white wine.)

  5. 5

    Once it has cooled, gently remove the skin of the peaches with your hands, place in a sterilized, air-tight container and store in the fridge.

  6. 6

    If you are going to store these, allow the peaches to steep well in the syrup, and consume them within a week.

  7. 7

    The alcohol content evaporates off while it's boiling, so these are also okay for those who do not drink alcohol.

  8. 8

    The recipe worked with 3 peaches as well, so I changed the amount in the list of ingredients to 2-3 peaches.

    Note: Red wine also makes it look beautiful, so I changed the image at the top. This photo shows how it looks using white wine.
