Servings
About 2 cups
Ingredients
  • 2 cups Mixed Berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 2 tablespoons Water

Combining Ingredients

In a medium saucepan, combine the mixed berries, sugar, lemon juice, and water.

Cooking the Compote

Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the berries have softened and the sauce has thickened slightly. The berries will release their juices and create a luscious compote.

Adjusting Sweetness

Taste the compote and add more sugar if desired. The sweetness will depend on the tartness of the berries.

Cooling and Serving

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the compote cool slightly. The compote will thicken as it cools. Serve warm or at room temperature over pancakes, waffles, yogurt, or ice cream.

Storing

Store any leftover compote in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

FAQ

  • Can I use all the same type of berry?

    Yes, you can use all blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or any other berry you prefer. The flavor profile will change accordingly.
  • Can I use honey or maple syrup instead of sugar?

    Yes, you can substitute honey or maple syrup for sugar. Start with 2 tablespoons and adjust to taste. Keep in mind that these sweeteners will add a distinct flavor to the compote.
  • How do I thicken the compote if it's too thin?

    If the compote is too thin, you can simmer it for a few more minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce. Alternatively, you can mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water to create a slurry and stir it into the compote. Cook for another minute or two until thickened.
