Every so often you hold on to a peach or two for a bit longer than you should and now you’ve got some squishy peaches. DON’T TOSS THAT FRUIT! It’s time to make a fruit compote! We used our compote to top a naan flatbread with goat cheese. How will you use yours?

- ½ lemon, juiced
- ⅓ cup blueberries (optional)
- a few leaves of basil

- Add 1″ of water to the
- Add in half of your basil leaves to the pot – leave the leaves whole
