Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh or frozen mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 50 milliliters water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the fresh berries under cold water if using fresh, and allow them to drain. If using frozen berries, you can use them directly from the freezer.
Place the berries, lemon juice, and water into a medium-sized saucepan.
Heat the saucepan over medium heat, allowing the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.
Stir occasionally and cook for about 10-15 minutes until the berries begin to break down and release their juices.
Use the back of a spoon to gently mash some of the larger berries for a thicker consistency, if desired.
Stir in the vanilla extract and cinnamon if using, and continue to cook for another 2 minutes.
Remove the compote from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. The compote will thicken as it cools.
Serve warm or cold. This compote can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
