Fruit compotes, jams, and marmalades are real easy to make with sous vide. Simply put some fruit, with any pits or inedible skin removed, in a bag with some sugar and acid then cook it up to an hour or two and you are good to go.

For a thicker jam you can also throw in some pectin as well. You can make these either in sous vide bags or in filled Mason jars, but note that the end result needs to be refrigerated and can't be stored in your cabinet.
