When you're in the peak of peach season you'd better take advantage. This compote is fantastic for summery desserts and even an add-in for salsas to give them a sweet and fruity peach twist.

ingredients

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 slice (1/2-inch size) lemon zest (yellow part only)
4 cups peeled, pitted peaches, diced or sliced

directions

Combine the sugar, water, and lemon zest in a heavy saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the mixture cook at a simmer for 5 minutes.

Add the peaches to the liquid and cook for 5 minutes or until tender. Remove the peaches from the liquid with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl. Remove the lemon zest from the liquid.

Cook the liquid over medium-high heat for 5 minutes until it thickens and becomes syrupy. Pour the syrup over the peaches.

Serve the peach compote warm.
