6 servings
- 3 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen — blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries)
- 2 tbsp honey
Chef's tipUse the same amount. Maple syrup is a little thinner and less sticky than honey. - 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ½ tsp lemon zest
- ¼ tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 tsp arrowroot starch (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Combine the berries, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, Ceylon cinnamon, and ginger in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir to coat the berries, then cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries begin to release their juices and the mixture comes to a gentle simmer, about 4–5 minutes.
- 2
Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally and pressing some of the berries lightly against the side of the pan, until the compote has thickened slightly and the fruit is very soft and jammy, about 8–10 minutes. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon.
