Ingredients for Raspberry Compote

  • 2 cups Fresh Raspberries Opt for plump, ripe raspberries for the best flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar Adjust based on personal preference for sweetness.
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice Freshly squeezed for best flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Optional, adds depth to the flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Water Helps create a syrupy consistency.

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the raspberries gently under cold water. If using frozen raspberries, add them directly to the pot.
  • In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water. Stir gently to coat the raspberries.
  • Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer, allowing the raspberries to break down.
  • Reduce heat to low and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens.
  • Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and adjust sweetness if needed. Allow to cool before transferring to a jar.
  • Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate. Can be stored for up to one week.

Notes

This compote is versatile and can be used in various dishes such as pancakes, yogurt parfaits, or as a topping for desserts.
