Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated erythritol or other sugar substitute
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Rinse the mixed berries thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Place the berries in a medium-sized saucepan along with the water and granulated erythritol.
Heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to simmer.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook the berries for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they start to break down and release their juices.
Add the lemon juice and vanilla extract to the saucepan and stir to combine.
Continue cooking the mixture for another 3-5 minutes, until the compote has thickened to your preferred consistency. If it's too thick, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired texture is reached.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the compote cool slightly before serving.
Serve the low-carb berry compote warm or chilled over yogurt, pancakes, or your favorite low-carb dessert.
