Fresh basil, which has a special affinity with peaches, is the secret ingredient in this sophisticated compote. The basil garnish gives guests a clue to the subtle flavor in the syrup.
RECIPE INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup  sugar
3 tablespoons  dry white wine
3 sprigs  fresh basil, plus more for garnish
2 2-1/2-inch strips  orange zest
3 cups  sliced peeled peaches (3-4 medium) (see Tip)
1 cup  fresh blackberries
1 tablespoon  lemon juice

Tip: To peel peaches, dip in boiling water for 30 or 40 seconds to loosen their skins. Let cool slightly, then slip off skins with a paring knife.
