Ingredients
- 4 cups Mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine mixed berries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture occasionally until the sugar is dissolved.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The berries should soften, and the mixture should begin to thicken.
Step 4
Add the lemon zest and vanilla extract, stirring to combine.
Step 5
Continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the compote reaches your desired level of thickness. If you prefer a thicker consistency, let it simmer a bit longer.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the compote to cool slightly.
Step 7
Transfer the compote to a jar or bowl and let it cool completely before storing in the refrigerator.
Step 8
Serve warm or chilled as a topping for your favorite dishes.
