Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams strawberries
- 150 grams blueberries
- 2 peaches
- 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries, then cut them into quarters.
Wash the blueberries and set them aside to drain.
Peel and pit the peaches, then dice them into small bite-sized chunks.
Zest the lime and set the zest aside. Cut the lime in half and juice it into a small bowl.
In a medium-sized saucepan, add the strawberries, blueberries, and peach chunks.
Add the lime juice, lime zest, honey, and water to the pan. Stir gently to coat the fruit evenly.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Cook the fruit gently for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the juices are released and the fruit is softened but not mushy.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the compote to cool slightly, then transfer to a serving dish or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Serve warm or chilled, garnished with fresh mint leaves if desired. Enjoy it as a topping for yogurt, pancakes, ice cream, or toast.
