Mixed berry compote

Infused with cinnamon and star anise, this colourful compote is a delicious addition to everything from porridge to French toast. Or simply enjoy it with a bowl of yoghurt.

  • Method

    1. Compote

      Place 3/4 of each of the berries (reserve the remainder for adding later), orange rind, spices, maple syrup and orange juice in a heavy-based saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, cook, stirring occasionally for 3-5 minutes or until the berries start to break down. Stir in the remaining berries, cook for a further 1 minute until the mixture returns to the boil. Remove from heat. Remove the rind and spices before serving. Serve warm or set aside to cool.

    2. Storage

      Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

    3. Serving

      Enjoy this berry compote for breakfast, a snack or dessert. Serve with a dollop of creamy Greek-style yogurt or thick cream, on breakfast cereal, granola, bircher muesli or porridge, with pancakes, waffles or French toast.
