I can’t get enough of fresh mangoes and use every excuse I can to create with them. When I was in Kenya and Tanzania, I had a variation of this compote with breakfast each morning, and I have since paired it with freshly baked brownies at my home. Warm brownies and Warm Mango Compote for breakfast, anyone?!

Ingredients

Compote Base

  • 1 vanilla bean
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup

Method

For the Compote Base

Split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise. Scrape seeds into sugar, mixing well.

In a medium nonstick saucepan, bring seeds/sugar and water to a boil. Add scraped vanilla bean and simmer mixture for 12 minutes.

While mixture is simmering, peel and dice mangoes. Add to the syrup and simmer for 1 minute. Remove saucepan fr
