Equipment
- Large Saucepan
- Juicer
Ingredients
- 600 g Frozen Mixed Berries (See Notes)
- 120 g Caster Sugar
- 2 tsp Lemon Juice
- A Pinch Of Sea Salt
Instructions
- Add the frozen berries into a large saucepan then add in the sugar, lemon juice & salt.
- Set the pan over a low heat then cook, stirring regularly until the berries have defrosted & the sugar has dissolved. This will only take a few minutes.
- Give the compote a taste to check the sweetness then add in more sugar, to taste, if needed.
- Next, turn the heat up to medium, bring the compote to a simmer then cook for 8-10 minutes until the liquid has thickened. The longer you cook the compote for, the thicker it will be!
- Once cooked, let the compote cool then transfer to an airtight container & store in the fridge until needed.
Notes
1. To Cook On An Aga - Cook the compote on the simmering plate.
2. Frozen Berries - Pretty much any frozen berry will work for this compote! I used equal amounts of strawberries, raspberries & blueberries. I let the strawberries defrost slightly so I could cut the bigger ones in half.
3. Sugar - It's best to add sugar in to taste, as some berries will be sweeter than others. We start with a small amount then give the compote a taste once it's been dissolved before adding in more.
4. Storage - Berry compote needs to be stored in the fridge & will keep for up to a week. It's best to store it in an airtight container.
