Yield: 4 Servings
Total Time: 20 Minutes
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup raspberries
- 1/2 cup black berries
- 1/2 cup strawberries
- 2 tablespoons raw honey
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Greek yogurt for serving
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions:
In a medium saucepan, combine the berries, honey, ground cinnamon, and fresh lemon juice.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Allow the berry mixture to simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the berries break down and release their juices.
Stir in the vanilla extract and continue to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
If you prefer a thicker compote, you can mash some of the berries with a fork or potato masher to reach the desired consistency.
Once the compote reaches a thick, syrupy consistency, remove it from heat.
Spoon the warm berry compote over a generous dollop of Greek yogurt in serving bowls.
Garnish with mint leaves if desired for a burst of freshness.
Serve Warm Berry Compote with Greek Yogurt immediately, allowing the warmth of the compote to contrast with the coolness of the Greek yogurt.
