Peach and Ginger Compote
Adapted from the Better Homes & Gardens Dessert Cookbook (1960): Fifteen minutes and four simple ingredients are all it takes to create this delicious peach and ginger compote. The sliced peaches are drenched in fresh orange juice and honey, and crystalized ginger adds a bit of spice. This compote is delicious over pound cake, ice cream, yogurt, or toast. It also pairs beautifully with waffles, pancakes, or crepes, and would be a great addition to a charcuterie board.
