WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE SUGAR FREE PEACH COMPOTE

• Frozen Peaches: I've only tested this with frozen peaches, but I prefer them because I never have to worry about them being in season plus they're cheaper
• Monk Fruit: I replace the sugar with monk fruit to keep it refined sugar free. My favorite brands are Whole Earth or Lakanto
• Lemon Juice: The lemon juice cuts the sweetness and adds a brightness to the compote
• Arrowroot Starch: I use a small amount as a thickener to get the perfect syrupy consistency
• Water

HOW TO MAKE PEACH COMPOTE SUGAR FREE

1. In a medium sized pot, whisk together the water, monk fruit, lemon juice, and arrowroot starch
2. Place pot on stove over medium heat and, stirring often, bring to a boil
3. Once the mixture is boiling, add in the frozen peaches, stir them around, and bring back to a boil for 5 minutes
4. Take the compote off of heat and you have two options, you can either let it cool as is with large chunks of peaches, or transfer it to a blender
5. *If blending* Pour hot peach compote carefully into the base of your blender, secure the lid and pulse it on high until it reaches the right texture. You can leave it chunky like I did, or puree till smooth if desired
6. Serve immediately over pancakes, waffles, anything you desire. If not serving, let it cool completely then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

EXPERT TIPS

• Read the entire recipe first
• Frozen peaches are much more convenient than fresh. They're already ripe, peeled, and pitted- all the hard work is done!
• I use monk fruit to make this sugar free, but you can replace it with an equal amount of regular sugar
• Don't skip the lemon juice! It tones down the sweetness, adds a necessary brightness, and prevents peaches from browning
• Cornstarch can replace the arrowroot starch, but the recipe won't be paleo
• Recipe can be made without arrowroot starch, boil for 2-3 minutes longer
• Serve immediately, or cool it completely then store in a mason jar in the fridge
