This melon compote is a great way to add some sweetness and flavor to your breakfast. I like to serve it over yogurt or oatmeal. It's also delicious on its own as a snack.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times now and it always turns out perfectly. The compote is delicious on its own or served over yogurt, ice cream, or pancakes. I also like to use it as a filling for tarts and pies.
