Fresh fruit compote always makes a perfect dessert, especially during the summer months, when stone fruits and berries are in season. This recipe relies on peaches, nectarines, blackberries and raspberries, but you could add apricots or cherries, too. Any dry white or rosé wine will work, but this Macedonia is especially good with sparkling wine, particularly sparkling rosé. Serve in wide glasses, so guests can sip the resulting juice. Top up with more bubbly, if you wish. Here, a bit of optional lavender perfumes the fruit, but lemon verbena or mint leaves would also be nice.

This was light, colorful and with a surprising champagne flavor. All my guests loved it. The peaches were right at their peak of flavor and sweetness. I used only peaches, raspberries & black berries. I used vodka, J Champagne instead of rose, and no lavender blossoms.
