Peach-Blackberry Compote with Basil Syrup (from EatingWell Magazine)

Peach-Blackberry Compote with Basil Syrup (from EatingWell Magazine)

Fresh basil, which has a special affinity with peaches, is the secret ingredient in this sophisticated compote. The basil garnish gives guests a clue to the subtle flavor in the syrup. Ingredients for 4 servings

• ¼ cup sugar

• 3 tablespoons dry white wine

• 3 sprigs fresh basil, plus more for garnish

• 2 2- ½-inch strips orange zest

• 3 cups sliced peeled peaches (3-4 medium) (see Tip)

• 1 cup fresh blackberries

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Preparation (Prep Time: 20 min. Total Time: 50 min.)

1. Combine sugar and wine in small saucepan; bring to a simmer. Remove from heat. Add 3 basil sprigs and orange zest; stir to immerse. Cover and let steep for 30 minutes.

2. Strain syrup into a small bowl, pressing on basil and zest to release maximum flavor.

3. Shortly before serving, combine peaches, blackberries, lemon juice and basil-infused syrup in a serving bowl; toss gently to coat. Serve garnished with basil sprigs.

• Tip: To peel peaches, dip in boiling water for 30 or 40 seconds to loosen their skins. Let cool slightly, then slip off skins with a paring knife.
