Ingredients




4 Peaches, skins peeled off, pits removed, or one (10-ounce) package thawed frozen 2 tablespoons Brown sugar or honey
2 tablespoons Apple or cranberry juice
1/8 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
1 pch Ground allspice
1 pch Ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons Brandy or apple or 1 tablespoon Butter

Preparation

1 TO PREPARE THE COMPOTE: Cut the peaches into 1/2-inch wedges. In a non-reactive saucepan over medium heat, combine the peaches with the sugar or honey, juice, spices and brandy or juice. 2 TO COOK THE COMPOTE: Over low heat, bring the ingredients to a simmer. 3 Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until the fruit is tender. Uncover and simmer until almost all of the moisture has evaporated and you are left with a syrupy fruit mass. Remove from the heat and set aside until serving time. Right before serving reheat the compote until hot and whisk in the butter. Serve alongside or on top of the pork chops.
