Raspberry Cherry Compote Recipes

CHERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Combine cherries, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat slightly and simmer until mixture becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and stir in lemon juice. Let cool to room temperature before serving, 30 minutes to 1 hour. Store in the refrigerator.

CHERRY AND RASPBERRY COMPOTE RECIPE

Steps:

• Pour 4 tbsp water into a pan and add the cherries, sugar and lemon juice. Place the pan over a medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Cook the cherries over a low heat for about 5-10 mins, until they have released some juices but aren't overcooked.
• Add the raspberries to the pan and cook for a further 1-2 mins, until they've started to soften. Remove the pan from the heat and leave the mixture to cool, then chill it well before serving with Greek yogurt.

BLACKBERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Combine blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, and salt in a saucepan. Toss to coat and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Bring berry mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until sauce has reduced and thickened slightly, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool slightly and serve warm, or refrigerate for later use. Mixture will thicken further as it cools.

STRAWBERRY AND RASPBERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Bring strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice to a simmer in a nonreactive saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced to 3/4 cup. Let cool completely before stirring in raspberries. Refrigerate up to 1 day in an airtight container.

CRANBERRY-RASPBERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except vanilla in heavy medium saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until cranberries burst and mixture thickens, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Cool slightly. Stir in vanilla. Cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 6 hours. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Keep refrigerated.)

RASPBERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Bring water to boil.
• Add raspberries and sugar.
• Allow to boil until desired thickness, 25-45 minutes.
• If compote is not thick enough and a cornstarch and water slurry.
• Serve over ice cream, pancakes, or waffles.
• May use strawberries, blueberries, peaches, mangoes, or apples, or a combination in place of raspberries.
