Notes
I let my compote cool in the saucepan before I store it in the fridge. I know my household can eat it in a few days. However, if you are going to keep the compote for longer, you will want to sterilize and prepare jars before you make the compote, and then seal the jars while the compote is still hot. If you use sterilized jars, the compote can be kept in the fridge for two weeks or three months in the freezer.
