I would make this compote again, but I would make a few changes. I would use less sugar, add some tart fruit, and thicken it up with a bit more cornstarch.

Overall, I thought this compote was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The compote was a little runny. I think I would add a bit more cornstarch next time to thicken it up.

This compote is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar or adding some tart fruit, like cranberries, to balance out the sweetness.
