Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups mixed fresh berries, such as blackberries & raspberries
1/4 cup creme de cassis
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Tips and Conclusion

Tips:

  • Choose the right berries. Fresh, ripe berries will give you the best flavor. If you're using frozen berries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Use a variety of berries. This will give your compote a more complex flavor. Some good combinations include strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
  • Add some sugar. Sugar helps to balance out the tartness of the berries. You can use white sugar, brown sugar, or honey.
  • Add some spices. Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger can add a warm, cozy flavor to your compote. You only have to use a little. Too much spices can overpower delicate berries.
  • Cook the compote until it thickens. This will take about 10-15 minutes. You'll know it's done when the compote is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Let the compote cool. Before you serve it, let the compote cool to room temperature. This will help the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

Mixed berry compote is a delicious and versatile dish that can be used in a variety of ways. It's perfect for topping pancakes, waffles, yogurt, or ice cream. You can also use it as a filling for pies, tarts, and muffins. No matter how you serve it, mixed berry compote is sure to be a hit.
