Mixed Berry Compote

The word compote sounds a little fancy, doesn’t it?

I promise you though, this recipe is simple to make! And it’s so tasty … the perfect way to show off gorgeous summer fruit!

What is fruit compote?

Compote is simply whole fruit (or pieces of fruit) cooked in sugar syrup. There aren’t a lot of complicated or weird ingredients—just fresh (or frozen) fruit, sugar, and a pinch of salt—and it’s ready in minutes

One of the best things about this berry compote recipe is that it can be customized with different berries. I used strawberries and blackberries, but it would be delicious with raspberries, blueberries, and other fresh berries, too. Choose your favorites!

This fresh fruit compote is perfect for breakfast or dessert. Serve it over pancakes, crepes, ice cream, pound cake, and more.

How to Make Berry Compote

This berry compote recipe only has four ingredients. Once you learn how to make this easy fruit compote, you’ll want to make it all summer long!

Choose a heavy bottom pan and add a little water and brown sugar. Cook that just until the sugar dissolves, then stir in the berries and a pinch of salt.

I used fresh strawberries and blackberries for this compote, but feel free to use your fave berries. Simply substitute the same amount. You could also use frozen berries if you want to make this recipe in winter.

Cook the berries just until they’re tender and have released their juices. And that’s it, your Mixed Berry Compote is done!

How to Serve Compote

You can serve this strawberry and blackberry compote warm or chilled. It’s up to you.

I made my compote ahead of time, chilled it, and used it for an Ice Cream Sundae Bar. It was the perfect addition to the table and tasted so delish served over waffles and vanilla ice cream … with a hefty topping of whipped cream, of course!

Here are some other ways to use compote:

  • Serve over pancakes or waffles.
  • Use as an oatmeal topping.
  • Spread over toast or English muffins.
  • Mix with Greek yogurt.
  • Top a slice of cake.
  • Spoon over a slice of cheesecake.
  • Blend with milk or yogurt to make a smoothie.
  • Use as a topping for crepes.

I think you get the idea … there are so many ways to use this yummy fruit sauce!

Storing Fruit Compote

If you are anything like me, you will gobble up this berry compote fast.

But if you have any leftovers, you’ll be happy to know that this fresh fruit sauce keeps well in the fridge. Simply store it in an airtight container in your refrigerator, and it should be good for about a week (the sugar acts as a preservative).

You can also freeze this compote to enjoy later.
