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.

- Use fresh or frozen fruit: You can use either fresh or frozen fruit to make compote. If using frozen fruit, thaw it completely before using.
- Add some spices: A little bit of spice can add a lot of flavor to your compote. Try adding a cinnamon stick, a bay leaf, or a pinch of nutmeg or ginger.
- Sweeten to taste: The amount of sugar you add to your compote will depend on the sweetness of the fruit you are using. Start with a small amount of sugar and add more to taste.
- Don't overcook the fruit: Overcooked fruit will be mushy and lose its flavor. Cook the fruit just until it is tender and still holds its shape.
