BLACKBERRY COMPOTE
This simple blackberry compote has the consistency of a chunky fruit syrup and is perfect on a variety of foods, such as ice cream, crepes, yogurt, oatmeal, and ricotta toast. It's a great way to use up fresh berries. Feel free to mash the berries with a fork or potato masher for a smoother consistency. The longer you simmer the compote, the more concentrated the flavors become.

BLUEBERRY OR BLACKBERRY COMPOTE WITH YOGURT OR RICOTTA
Blueberries don't need much in the way of sweetener (blackberries are more tart, so you might want to use a little more with them), yet this simple compote will transform a plain bowl of yogurt or ricotta cheese into a dessert - or a very nice breakfast. The compote is modeled on Deborah Madison's recipe in her lovely book, "Seasonal Fruit Desserts." She sweetens her compote with maple syrup or maple sugar, which is also a lovely way to go. The small amount of cinnamon brings out the essential essence of the berries. I like to add a touch of rose water; the floral essence is beautiful with the berries. Don't simmer for too long, or the compote will become more like jam - though it is also nice as a sort of jam with toast. Ricotta is richer than yogurt, so I serve less of it with the berries.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients except cornstarch dissolved in water and ricotta or yogurt in a saucepan. Add 1 tablespoon water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer until blueberries release their juices and blackberries begin to break apart, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally from time to time.
- Stir in dissolved cornstarch and stir until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and allow to cool, or serve warm, spooned over yogurt or ricotta. Alternative method: I use this method with blackberries, since as they break down more: Toss the berries in a bowl with 2 tablespoons organic sugar. Cover and refrigerate overnight. The next day, add 1 more tablespoon sugar, honey or agave nectar if desired and proceed with step 1 of the recipe.

YOGURT PANNA COTTA WITH BLUEBERRY COMPOTE
Steps:
- In a saucepan, heat the milk, sugar, rinds (save the insides for the compote), and vanilla bean simmering until the sugar is dissolved.
- Meanwhile place the gelatin in enough cold water to submerge the gelatin completely, about 1 1/2 cups. Soak the gelatin until softened. Once soft, remove the gelatin from the water, squeezing out excess water. Add the gelatin to the hot liquid and stir to melt. Let cool slightly then stir in the yogurt. Strain the mixture into a clean bowl. Chill over an ice bath until it starts to thicken. Fold in the whipped cream. Pour into individual 4-ounce molds or ramekins, or a large mold or ring mold, and chill for 2 hours. When ready to serve, dip in hot water 10 seconds to remove from the molds and turn them out onto dessert plates.
- To make the compote, place the blueberries, sugar, orange juice and lemon juice in a saucepan and bring just to a boil. Stir the fruit once, turn off the heat and let it stew on its own for 5 minutes. Serve cold or at room temperature, spooned around the panna cotta.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful blueberries or blackberries for the best results.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent the berries from sticking and burning.
- Bring the berries to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer the berries for 10-15 minutes, or until they have softened and released their juices.
- Stir in a little bit of sugar or honey to taste, if desired.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the compote cool slightly before serving.
- Serve the compote with yogurt, ricotta cheese, pancakes, waffles, or ice cream.
Conclusion:
Blueberry or blackberry compote is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you prefer it sweet or tart, thick or thin, this compote is sure to please. So next time you have a craving for something sweet and fruity, give this recipe a try.
