Servings: 6
Ingredients
- Water
- 1/2 cup
- Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons
- Vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon
- Sugar
- 1/4 cup
- Mixed berries

- Gradually add the cornstarch mixture to the simmering berries, stirring constantly.
- Continue to cook the compote for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until it has thickened to your liking.
