Berry Compote is a sweet sauce or syrup made with fresh or frozen berries, some sweetener, and lemon juice for flavorings. The berries used in a compote can vary but this Healthy Compote recipe includes blueberries, raspberries, and my favorite sweet cherries.<\/p>\n
To make this Berry Compote, I started by combining berries with maple syrup in a saucepan. Then gently heated over medium-low heat, allowing the berries to release their juices. The compote is usually cooked until the berries are tender, but I prefer to leave a few whole berries for texture.<\/p>\n
