Berry Compote

Servings 4

Ingredients

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

  • 8 Oz. Berries, fresh or frozen
  • ¼ Medium-sized orange, juiced
  • 2 Tbsp. maple syrup or honey

Instructions

HOW TO MAKE IT

  • Combine all ingredients into a saucepan and bring to medium-high heat.
  • Once bubbling, immediately reduce to low-medium heat to softly simmer.
  • Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring and mashing every 5 minutes.
  • Note: You want your compote to softly simmer. You don’t want to heat it too rapidly because it can begin to caramelize and possibly burn. You can mash all of the fruit to produce a smoother more homogenous compote OR you can leave some fruit bits for a lumpy compote. I like mine smoother, but it is really up to you!
  • Serve on top of ice cream or pancakes. You may add ginger, seeds, herbs, or cinnamon. Get creative! 

Notes

I like to mix two or more different berry varieties because they bring different flavors and textures to the final compote.
