WARM BERRY COMPOTE
This recipe is from the Williams-Sonoma FRUIT DESSERT cookbook, a copy of which my gracious partner in the current Cookbook Swap sent to me! It is ALWAYS best to use fruits when they are in season, but if making this recipe when they are not, frozen berries COULD be used!

FRENCH TOAST WITH GRAND MARNIER AND WARM BERRY COMPOTE
Steps:
- Compote: Bring orange juice, sugar and rum to boil in heavy large saucepan, stirring to dissolve sugar. Stir cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water in small bowl to dissolve. Add cornstarch mixture to orange juice mixture; boil until thickened slightly, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Add berries. Reduce heat to medium and stir until berries soften and are heated through, about 3 minutes. Can be made 4 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm slightly before serving. French Toast: Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Whisk first 4 ingredients in large bowl to blend, then whisk in orange juice. Transfer to 15x10x2-inch glass baking dish. Add bread slices to egg mixture; turn to coat. Let stand until bread absorbs most of egg mixture, at least 5 minutes and up to 15 minutes, turning bread occasionally. Heat griddle or 2 heavy large skillets over medium heat. Brush griddle with melted butter. Working in batches, cook French toast until browned and cooked through (firm to touch in center), about 3 minutes per side. Place on rimmed baking sheet and transfer to oven to keep warm. Divide French toast among plates. Spoon berry compote over and dust with powdered sugar.
Tips:
- Choose the right berries: Use a variety of berries for a more complex flavor. Fresh or frozen berries can be used.
- Sweeten to taste: Start with a small amount of sugar or honey and add more to taste. You can also use a sugar substitute if desired.
- Cook over medium heat: This will help prevent the berries from burning.
- Stir occasionally: This will help the berries cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pot.
- Let cool slightly before serving: This will allow the compote to thicken slightly.
Conclusion:
Warm berry compote is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover berries. With just a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a delicious and satisfying compote that the whole family will enjoy.
