Recipe: Mixed Berry Compote for Pancake Tuesday

17.2.15


Easy and yummy and perfect on pancakes...it's Mixed Berry Compote time!


What you'll need:

2 pints of strawberries
1 pint of blueberries
1/3 cup of water
2 tablespoons of raw sugar
1/2 lemon, juiced and zested
Splash of Beaujolais wine (optional)


Directions:

1.  Rough chop the strawberries and combine them, in a pot, with the water and sugar.  Cook on a moderately high heat until the water becomes syrupy (7 - 10 minutes)

2.  Add the blueberries and the wine (if desired), let cook down for another 7 - 10 minutes.

3.  Remove from heat and finish with the lemon juice and lemon zest.

4.  Taste.  If it's not sweet enough for you, consider adding a little more sugar.  I like to keep my compote on the slightly tart side, especially since the berries have so much natural sweetness.

5.  Serve with pancakes, waffles, ice cream or yogurt!
