Servings: 3 cups
Calories: 134kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup red raspberries
- 1 cup blackberries
- 2 cups frozen blueberries
- 2 - 3 tablespoons granulated sugar add more to taste
- Optional: dash lemon juice or lemon zest
Instructions
- Wash berries. Drain, but do not dry. Place into a microwave-safe bowl with the sugar and lemon juice or zest, if using.
- Cover and microwave for 3-4 minutes, or until the berries have melted and the juice is at a low simmer.
Notes
- Feel free to switch the types of berries, but the success of the dish depends on about ¾ of the berries being soft and juicy.
- A final squeeze of fresh lemon juice or sprinkle of zest just before serving wakes up all the flavors and adds brightness to your compote.
- The combination of fresh and frozen berries creates the ideal texture - frozen berries break down to create the sauce while fresh berries maintain some shape for a chunky, jammy consistency.
- For a thicker compote, simmer longer or add ½ teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 teaspoon water. For a thinner consistency, add a tablespoon of water or orange juice.
