No reviews

This mixed berry compote is a quick and versatile fruit sauce made by simmering berries, sugar, and lemon juice together until thick, juicy, and bursting with flavor. In just about 10 minutes the berries soften and release their juices, creating a chunky syrup that’s perfect for spooning over pancakes, ice cream, cheesecake, or yogurt. It’s simple, fresh, and one of those recipes you’ll find yourself making again and again.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 1/2 Cups 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 16oz Mixed Berries, fresh or frozen
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • Juice from One Small Lemon

Instructions

  1. In a large pot add all ingredients and cook over low-medium heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently. You want to bring the mixture to a slight boil then reduce the heat and continue to stir. The berries will naturally sort of break down. The longer you cook it the more reduced it will become.
  2. Let cool completely then store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to one week.

Notes

  • Once the compote is completely cooled you can pour it into a freezer-safe container and freeze it for up to 1 month. Souper Cubes would be a perfect way to freeze these into small portions they only take out the amount you want each time.
