While peaches are perfect simply as-is, when you realize some are ripening much faster than you can consume them, consider making this peach compote. (Using overripe peaches also allows for fewer sweeteners to be added.) Simply stir all the ingredients together in a saucepan, and in less than 10 minutes you’ve got yourself a scrumptious topping to spoon on overnight oats, pancakes, waffles, ice cream — you name it!

This is easy and yummy. I used two fresh peaches for the compote, it made two servings worth. The oatmeal was enough for one serving, I made it two days in a row.
