Serves 4

Ingredients

Fresh blackberries
2 cups
Granulated sugar
1/2 cup
Lemon juice
2 tablespoons
Water
1/4 cup

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh blackberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently to prevent the berries from breaking apart, until the blackberries begin to release their juices, about 5 minutes.
  3. 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.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the compote to cool to room temperature. It will thicken further as it cools.
  5. Serve the blackberry compote warm or chilled over pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or yogurt for a delicious treat.
  6. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Tips

  • 💡 For a deeper flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract while the compote cooks.
  • 💡 You can substitute blackberries with blueberries, raspberries, or a mix of your favorite berries for delightful variations.
