Thicken the Compote: Continue to simmer the mixture for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cherries are soft and the liquid has thickened slightly. The natural pectins in the cherries will help thicken the compote as it cools.
Cool and Store: Remove from heat and let the compote cool. It will continue to thicken as it reaches room temperature. Once cooled, transfer it to a jar or container and refrigerate. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
