Time 7m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1.5 cups mixed berries (or individual berries (blueberry, raspberry, etc.), if preferred)
1 Tbsp maple syrup (or other sweetener (can be increased/decreased, to taste))
1/2 lemon, juiced ((can be increased/decreased, to taste))

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, add the berries and lemon juice and heat over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat slightly and heat for 2-3 more minutes. Occasionally press the berries, so they release more of their juices (though there's no need to mash them fully).
  • Add the maple syrup (or sweetener of your choice) towards the end of the cooking time and stir well. Feel free to adjust the amount of lemon juice/sweetener at any time.
  • Remove from the heat and either serve the fruit compote immediately or allow to cool and use later.

MELON COMPOTE

Categories     Fruit     Dessert     Quick & Easy     Low Sodium     Melon     Summer     Vegan     Gourmet     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
a 1-inch piece gingerroot, peeled and grated
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 cups 3/4-inch watermelon balls (from about a 3-pound piece, seeded)
2 cups 3/4-inch honeydew melon balls (from about a 3-pound piece, seeded)
2 cups 3/4-inch cantaloupe balls (from about a 3-pound piece, seeded)

Steps:

  • In a 1-quart saucepan bring sugar and water to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved, and simmer 2 minutes. Cool syrup and stir in lime juice, gingerroot, cumin, pepper, and salt to taste. In a bowl toss together melon balls and syrup. Chill compote, covered, at least until cold, about 2 hours, and up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful fruit: The quality of your fruit will greatly impact the taste of your compote. Choose berries that are plump and brightly colored, and melons that are fragrant and have a slight give when you press on them.
  • Use a variety of fruits: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of berries and melons. This will create a more complex and interesting flavor profile.
  • Add some herbs or spices: A little bit of mint, basil, or ginger can add a nice touch of flavor to your compote. Just be careful not to overpower the fruit.
  • Don't overcook the fruit: Compote should be cooked until the fruit is soft, but not mushy. Overcooked fruit will lose its flavor and texture.
  • Let the compote cool completely: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.

Conclusion:

Melon and berry compote is a delicious and versatile dish that can be used in a variety of ways. It can be served as a topping for yogurt, pancakes, or waffles, or used as a filling for pies and tarts. It can also be enjoyed on its own as a refreshing snack or dessert. No matter how you choose to enjoy it, melon and berry compote is sure to please everyone at your table.
