Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups (10oz/200g) blackberries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water to a pot. Stir the mixture to combine the ingredients evenly.
- Bring to a Boil: Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir frequently to prevent the mixture from scorching on the bottom.
- Boil Briefly: Let the mixture boil for about 5 minutes, continuing to stir often to avoid burning.
- Simmer and Thicken: Reduce the heat to low, allowing the compote to simmer and bubble gently for 10 minutes. This slow cooking helps the compote thicken. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Serve or Store: Serve the compote warm over your favorite dishes, or allow it to cool completely. Store in a sterilized jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blackberries according to availability; frozen blackberries may require slightly longer cooking time.
- Stir frequently during boiling to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
- The compote will thicken more as it cools, so avoid overcooking.
- Store in sterilized jars to ensure freshness and prolong shelf life.
- This compote is versatile and can be used as a topping for yogurts, pancakes, ice cream, or spread on toast.
