Note

For a thicker sauce, mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water and stir into the simmering sauce during the last minute of cooking.

This compote can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

For added texture, toast 1/4 cup of sliced almonds and sprinkle over the top before serving.

Ensure the brown sugar is packed firmly into the measuring cup for consistent sweetness.
