For the Rhubarb Compote: Heat oven to 450 F. Place rhubarb and sugar in an ovenproof casserole; toss to coat. Cook until rhubarb is soft, but keeps shape, 25 to 40 minutes. Let cool, then stir in cream.

For Roasted Peaches: Heat oven to 450 F. Melt butter in a roasting pan; sprinkle sugar over. Halve peaches crosswise; place cut side down in the pan. Roast 15 to 25 minutes, until peaches are soft, but still hold their shape. Reserve juice to serve with sodas. When peaches cool, peel off skins.
