Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash the Berries

    Rinse the mixed berries under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities. Pat them dry gently with a clean kitchen towel.

  2. 2

    Chop Larger Berries

    If using large strawberries, hull and chop them into smaller pieces to ensure even cooking with the other berries.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the washed mixed berries, granulated sugar, fresh lemon juice, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.

  2. 4

    Cook the Compote

    Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir occasionally, allowing the sugar to dissolve and the berries to release their juices.

  3. 5

    Simmer

    Let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the berries have softened and the compote has thickened to your desired consistency.

Finishing Touches

  1. 6

    Cool Down

    Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the berry compote to cool for a few minutes before serving or storing.

  2. 7

    Serve or Store

    Serve warm over pancakes, waffles, or yogurt, or transfer to a clean jar and refrigerate for up to one week.
