Peach Compote

Pare the fruit; let it remain whole; put in a porcelain-lined kettle, with sweetened water; boil until quite tender; add to the fruit some cinnamon bark and a few cloves. When tender remove from the kettle with a perforated skimmer and place on your fruit dish. When the syrup has boiled thick pour over the fruit. Little wine added to the peaches while cooking is an improvement. When cold serve with sweet cream.
