Ontario Nectarine and Plum Compote

For a simple but elegant dessert, serve this compote over angel food cake. It’s also delicious over yogurt or ice cream.

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4 to 6
Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) white wine or cranberry juice
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) water
  • 1 strip lemon rind
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 4 Ontario Nectarines, ripe but firm
  • 5 Ontario Plums
Preparation:

In large saucepan, combine wine, sugar, water, rind and cinnamon stick; bring to boil. Cut nectarines into 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick slices; add to saucepan and return to boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Cut plums into 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick slices; add to saucepan. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 7 minutes or until fruit is tender and liquid is slightly thickened. Discard lemon rind and cinnamon stick. Serve warm.
