4-Ingredient Mixed Berry Compote with Frozen Berries
My simple Berry Compote Recipe is made with frozen berries so it can be enjoyed all year round. It's so easy and quick to whip up and is flavored with a hint of lime for extra freshness. It's the perfect topping for all kinds of breakfasts — pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, yogurt, and more!
Servings: 4 quarter cups
Ingredients
- 1 lb frozen mixed berries 454 g
- zest of 1 lime
- ¼ cup coconut sugar 43 g
- a pinch of kosher salt
Instructions
- Add frozen berries, sugar, salt, and lime zest to a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat stirring occasionally until the mixture comes to a rapid boil. Continue to cook stirring constantly until the mixture reduces in volume and thickens. This will take about 12-13 minutes total.
- Remove from heat, allow compote to cool and transfer to a jar. Refrigerate up to a week.
Notes
- Stirring occasionally at the start and constantly as the compote starts to thicken will prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan. It also helps distribute the sugar evenly.
- Berry compote from frozen berries will thicken as it reduces and firm up slightly more as it cools. Check for doneness around the 12-minute mark — look for a glossy, almost jam-like texture.
