Recipe Notes

  • This recipe makes about 1 pint or 2 cups.
  • It will thicken as it cools, but won't be really thick. If you want it thicker, just use a Tablespoon of corn starch mixed with just enough water to make a loose paste, and stir into the hot compote near the end of cooking.
  • If you choose to decrease the sugar, you may want to decrease the lemon zest and lemon juice
