2. Reduce the heat to moderately high and cook, stirring often, until the liquid has reduced to a thick syrup and the fruits are very tender, about 25 minutes.
3. Stir in the cherries during the last 5 minutes of cooking; let cool.
4. Stir the chopped sage into the compote and spoon the compote into 8 bowls.
5. Set a slice of goat cheese on each serving and garnish with sage leaves.
