Ingredients

• 250 grams fresh or frozen raspberries
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine raspberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of water.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Once the fruit begins to release its juices and the sugar dissolves, continue to cook for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the berries to break down.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the remaining tablespoon of water with the cornstarch to create a slurry.

Step 5

Slowly stir the cornstarch slurry into the raspberry mixture.

Step 6

Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the compote thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Remove from heat and let the compote cool slightly. It will thicken a bit more as it cools down.

Step 8

Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
