Servings: 20 Tablespoons
Tablespoons
Equipment
- medium saucepan
- Whisk
- Spoon or spatula
- Immersion blender (optional)
Ingredients
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 6 ounces fresh raspberries, divided
- 6 ounces fresh blackberries, divided
- 8 ounces fresh strawberries, diced and divided
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch until fully combined.
- Add 3 ounces raspberries, 3 ounces blackberries, and 4 ounces diced strawberries. Pour the lemon juice over the berries and stir gently.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries release their juices and the mixture comes to a boil.
- Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until thickened and glossy. The berries should be fully broken down.
- Remove from heat. Use an immersion blender to blend the compote until smooth (optional but recommended for a silky texture). Alternatively, carefully transfer to a blender.
- Transfer the compote to a heat-proof bowl and let cool for 20–30 minutes.
- Fold in the remaining fresh berries (3 ounces raspberries, 3 ounces blackberries, 4 ounces strawberries).
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until fully cooled and thickened.

Notes
Split-berry method: Cooking only half the berries creates a thick base, while folding in fresh berries gives the compote real texture and brightness.
Too thin? Simmer a few more minutes — it will also thicken as it cools.
Too sweet? Add a small squeeze of lemon juice or fold in extra fresh berries.
Frozen berries: Use only for the cooked portion; avoid for the fresh fold-in.
Blending tip: Blending creates a smooth base that contrasts with the fresh berries; skip for a more rustic texture.
