Quick and Easy Berry Compote

In today's post I'm sharing a gorgeously simple berry compote recipe. This recipe was adapted from a  strawberry compote recipe by fellow blogger Isabella King, creator of the blog Coriander Queen.  

Sadly Isabella passed away earlier this year, aged just 29. Our food blogging community wanted to do something to remember her so we decided to each choose a recipe of Isabella's to recreate and share on our own blogs in tribute to her and in celebration of her life.

Though I never had the chance to meet her in person, I will always remember Isabella as a really lovely, friendly part of our community. She was always positive and cheerful, even when undergoing cancer treatment, and always ready to support others whenever she could. She will be greatly missed.  

We hope that you will enjoy all of Isabella's lovely recipes as much as we have - do pop over to have a look at her blog or check out my fellow food blogger's recreations of Isabella's recipes at the end of this post.

Yogurt Granola Parfaits with homemade berry compote - quick and easy healthy breakfast idea from Eats Amazing UK

Going back to the compote recipe, this simple compote is perfect for adding to natural or plain Greek yogurt for a healthier option than shop-bought flavoured yogurt. It has a short, simple ingredients list so you know exactly what goes into it and you can control the sugar level by adding honey to your preference (or miss it out altogether if wanted). Layer it with granola and yogurt for a delicious breakfast parfait that feels like a real treat, or add it to your porridge, overnight oats or pancakes, waffles, ice cream and other desserts - this one simple recipe has a multitude of uses.

Easy Berry Compote

Ingredients:

  • 150g strawberries
  • 150g raspberries
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (or to taste)
  • 1 tbsp honey (or to taste)

Method:

Wash and hull the strawberries, then cut into bite sized pieces.

Place the strawberries and raspberries in a saucepan. Add the honey and gently heat on a medium setting. Add the lemon juice, a little at a time to taste - you may find you don't need the whole tablespoon's worth, depending on how sweet your berries are.

Bring the compote slowly to a simmer, then turn down the heat to low and stir.

Continue to cook on a low heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a bowl and leave to cool.

Store covered in the fridge for 2-3 days or freeze portions in an ice cube tray until ready to use.

Notes: Isabella preferred her compote to include the whole fruits (and I quite agree) but if you prefer a smooth compote you can sieve it before cooling. You could also mash the fruit while cooking for a texture compromise that's somewhere in between.
