Ingredients
16 oz frozen mixed berries
1/2 cup light brown sugar (110g, packed)
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
2 tbsp salted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place frozen berries and brown sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir occasionally as berries release juices and sugar dissolves.
- Add ground cinnamon (if using) and simmer for 8–10 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Stir in butter and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
- Cool slightly before serving or store for later use.
Notes
Use fresh berries instead of frozen; reduce cooking time slightly.
Add lemon juice for brightness or liqueur for an adult twist.
Simmer longer or add cornstarch slurry for a thicker compote.
For a smoother sauce, blend with an immersion blender.
Store in fridge up to 5 days or freeze up to 2 months.
