Quick Peach Compote Dessert Cups Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Drain 1 can of peaches; reserve the syrup from the other. Place the butter in a 9- by 12-inch ovenproof baking dish. Heat the butter on the stove or in the oven until it's melted. In a medium bowl, mix the flour and sugar. Stir in the milk and the reserved syrup. Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Arrange the peaches over the batter. Bake for 1 hour. The cobbler is done when the batter rises around the peaches and the crust is thick and golden brown. Serve warm with fresh whipped cream
• Chill a large metal mixing bowl and the wire beater attachment in the freezer for about 20 minutes. Pour the chilled cream and sugar into the cold mixing bowl and beat until it forms soft peaks, about 5 minutes. The mixture should hold its shape when dropped from a spoon. Don't overbeat or you'll have sweetened butter!

Steps:

• Bring peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and salt to a boil in a saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves; mash lightly with a potato masher. Skim foam and continue to cook, stirring, until thickened to the consistency of loose jam, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Transfer to a heat-proof bowl; let cool completely (you should have about 1 1/2 cups).
• To serve, whip heavy cream to soft peaks. Mix in mascarpone and beat until smooth and silken. Spoon into bowls and layer with compote and crushed cookies.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine fruit, honey, pinch of salt, water, and desired flavor combination (optional). Cook over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until fruit is soft, 8 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a pint-size jar and let cool.
