Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 150 grams Fresh blueberries
- 2 Ripe peaches, pitted and diced
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters Fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 100 milliliters Coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
- 2 tablespoons Water (optional, for cornstarch slurry)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the strawberries, blueberries, and diced peaches.
Add the granulated sugar, orange juice, and vanilla extract to the saucepan and stir gently to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and let the fruit simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the fruit softens and releases its juices.
If a thicker compote is desired, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then add it to the saucepan and stir well. Simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes until the compote thickens.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the compote cool slightly.
Stir in the coconut cream and shredded coconut until well combined, creating a creamy and tropical flavor.
Serve the fruit compote warm or chilled. It can be enjoyed on its own or used as a topping for pancakes, waffles, yogurt, or ice cream.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
