cherry compote

Stewed stone fruit

Cherry compote is a sauce or topping made by gently cooking cherries with sugar until they soften and release their juices, creating a syrupy mixture.

Unlike jam, compote keeps the fruit mostly intact and isn't meant for long-term preservation.

It's spooned over ice cream, pancakes, cheesecake, or yogurt: The pork chops came with a tart cherry compote.
