Berry Compote Recipe

We like to serve this berry compote recipe over toasted Orange-Cherry Coffee Cake, but it is also delicious as a layer in a yogurt parfait, a topping to a breakfast blintz, or a crown for a stack of pancakes. Take full foodie advantage of the tartness of this compote by using it to balance super sweet desserts too.

compote recipe instruction

1. Empty all the ingredients in a small sauce pot – even add the water from the can of cherries. Turn to high heat.
2. Boil until the berries burst and the extra moisture evaporates. Occasionally stir so nothing sticks to and burns the bottom of the pot.
3. When the compote has thickened, turn off the heat. Serve on your favorite desserts.



compote cooking and serving tips

• If you would not like seeds or texture in your compote, press this through a fine-mesh sieve while it is still hot. The recipe will not yield as much without the seeds and skins.
• This is a tart sauce. Sweeten it to your liking with honey or sugar.
