Time 1h13m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 pound nectarine, quartered and stone removed
4 cardamom pods
ΒΌ cup double cream

Steps:

  • Heat butter and sugar together in a heavy saucepan over low heat until mixture turns light brown, about 5 minutes. Add nectarine quarters and cardamom pods; cook and stir over medium heat until nectarines are soft, about 18 minutes. Remove and discard cardamom.
  • Remove saucepan from heat and allow nectarine mixture to cool slightly. Transfer mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth; place in the refrigerator until completely cooled, about 30 minutes.
  • Beat double cream in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the cream will form soft mounds. Spoon cream over chilled compote.

This compote is a great way to use up ripe nectarines, but it's also delicious with other fruits, such as peaches, apricots, or plums.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my compote never thickened up. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my compote turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much liquid.

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

The compote was a bit runny for my liking. I think I would have preferred it to be a bit thicker.

This nectarine compote was a delightful and easy-to-make dessert. The nectarines were perfectly tender and juicy, and the sauce was flavorful and aromatic. I served it over vanilla ice cream, and it was a perfect summer treat.
