Compote is one of those wonderfully simple ways to enjoy fruit. It’s made by gently simmering whole or chunky pieces of fruit until they soften and release their natural juices, often with a little sugar and maybe a splash of citrus. The result? A saucy, spoonable fruit preserve that’s not quite jam, not quite syrup, but somewhere deliciously in between. It’s perfect over yogurt, paired with cheese, or just eaten by the spoonful straight from the jar.

How spicy are our compotes? We like to call it 'Midwestern spicy'—which basically means there’s a subtle, gentle heat that sneaks in at the end of each bite. It’s not overpowering at all; the spice is more of a warm finish that complements the fruit rather than competing with it. You’ll still get all the bright, juicy flavor of the fruit up front, with just enough heat to keep things interesting.

All of our compotes are totally gluten-free and made without any preservatives or artificial sweeteners—just real, simple ingredients.

Our compotes are shelf-stable, so you can keep them in the pantry until you pop the lid. Once opened, just store them in the fridge. They stay good for up to two years from the date we made them—you’ll find that info stamped on the bottom of the jar.

We ship all in-stock orders via UPS Ground, and they usually show up within 5–7 business days. If you need it faster, expedited shipping typically gets it to you in about 2 business days. Heads up—if you’re ordering a lot, your goodies might arrive in separate boxes and on different days.

Shipping costs are based on your order’s weight and where it’s going, and are set by our carrier (UPS or USPS).
