Categories     Breakfast     Condiment     Dessert     Side

Time 7m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1.5 cups mixed berries (or individual berries (blueberry, raspberry, etc.), if preferred)
1 Tbsp maple syrup (or other sweetener (can be increased/decreased, to taste))
1/2 lemon, juiced ((can be increased/decreased, to taste))

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, add the berries and lemon juice and heat over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat slightly and heat for 2-3 more minutes. Occasionally press the berries, so they release more of their juices (though there's no need to mash them fully).
  • Add the maple syrup (or sweetener of your choice) towards the end of the cooking time and stir well. Feel free to adjust the amount of lemon juice/sweetener at any time.
  • Remove from the heat and either serve the fruit compote immediately or allow to cool and use later.

Learn how to make fruit compote with this easy recipe! You can make compote with fresh or frozen fruit. It's delicious on ice cream, yogurt, toast, pancakes, waffles and more! Recipe yields about 2 cups compote.

Provided by Cookie and Kate

Categories     Dessert

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound (16 ounces) fresh or frozen fruit (for the photos, I used fresh strawberries, peaches, and frozen blueberries)
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
Dash of salt
See optional flavoring ideas given above recipe

Steps:

  • To prepare the fruit: If you're using fresh strawberries or peaches, cut them into thin slices. If you're using small berries like blueberries or raspberries, you can use them whole. If you're using frozen fruit, no need to defrost or slice them before using.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine your fruit of choice, sweetener of choice and dash of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. This will take about 5 minutes for fresh fruit or 10 minutes for frozen fruit.
  • Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium. If you're using chunky fruit or prefer a smoother consistency, mash the fruit with a potato masher or serving fork until it reaches your desired consistency. Continue simmering, stirring often, until the compote has condensed to about half of its original volume, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove the compote from the heat. I'm generally satisfied with my compote at this point, but if the compote isn't sweet enough for your liking, you can stir in a more sweetener, to taste. If you'd like it to be more smooth, mash it some more.
  • Let the compote cool for a few minutes before serving. Allow leftover compote to cool completely before covering and refrigerating for up to 10 days.
