Note

Storage: Allow the compote to cool completely before covering and refrigerating. It will keep for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving.

Ingredient Substitutions: You can substitute fresh plums and peaches if in season, though cooking time may vary slightly. If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the brown sugar to 1 tablespoon.

Tips: For a thicker sauce, you can mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with the orange liquid before pouring it over the fruit. The lemon rind adds a fresh aromatic quality, so use a zester or microplane for the best texture.
