Easy Berry Compote
This easy berry compote recipe is great for layering with yogurt & granola, topping porridge or adding to pancakes, waffles, ice cream & other desserts.
Servings: 1 jar
Ingredients
- 150 g strawberries
- 150 g raspberries
- 1 tbs lemon juice (or to taste)
- 1 tbs honey (or to taste)
Instructions
- 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
Notes: This recipe includes the whole fruits in the finished compote 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.
