Compote with Frozen Berries

Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup frozen blueberries
  • 0.25 cup frozen strawberries
  • 0.25 cup frozen raspberries
  • 0.25 cup raw sugar
  • 0.25 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon unbleached all-purpose flour

Method

  1. Place the blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, sugar, water, and butter into a small saucepan. Bring the contents to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes until the fruit softens and breaks apart. Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, giving it an occasional stir.
  2. Take the pan off the heat and let the compote thicken to a chutney or thick jam-like consistency. You can stir in the flour at this stage for additional thickness if you wish. This compote can be served either warm or after being chilled.
