BERRIES****Mixed Berry Compote

By Unblond1

Xmas 2017, to go with my Angel Cake. I used half frozen strawberries, 1/4 each blueberries and cherries + a small handful of frozen pomegranite seeds and honey

Ingredients

• OPTIONAL ADD-INS:
• 500 g frozen mixed berries and/or stone fruits or combination
• 1/4 cup caster sugar or honey
• 1 tsp vanilla extract or paste
• grated lemon, lime and/or orange Zest
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp fresh or ground ginger
• chopped fresh mint
• 1 tablespoon liqueur of choice - Grand Marnier comes to mind
• 2 fresh bay leaves (removed before chilling)

Preparation

Step 1

Place fruit and honey with other add-ins in a small saucepan and bring to medium heat.

Once bubbling, reduce heat slightly and use a wooden spoon to muddle and mash the fruit.

Continue cooking over medium-low heat for 10-12 minutes, occasionally mashing fruit to combine.

Remove from heat, stir in vanilla paste, mint and liqueur, if using, and transfer to a clean jar or container to cool thoroughly. Store in the fridge and reheat to serve or serve cold or at room temp.
