Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Fresh blackberries
- 2 cups
- Granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup
- Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons
- Water
- 1/4 cup
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh blackberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring gently to prevent the berries from breaking apart, until the blackberries begin to release their juices, about 5 minutes.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the compote thickens slightly, about 10-15 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the compote to cool to room temperature. It will thicken further as it cools.
- Serve the blackberry compote warm or chilled over pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or yogurt for a delicious treat.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
