compote

Sweetened stewed fruit

Compote is fruit cooked slowly in sugar syrup, served as a dessert or accompaniment.

Unlike jam, compote keeps the fruit in distinct pieces and isn't meant for long preservation: She spooned warm compote over the ice cream.

The word also refers to a footed dish for serving such desserts or other foods.
