Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 450 g mixed berries fresh or frozen
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 star anise
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave syrup, or more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions
 

  • Place 450g berries into a saucepan.
  • Add a cinnamon stick, a star anise, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and stir to combine.
  • Pour in a tablespoon of water - this is to stop the berries from sticking.
  • Heat over a medium heat until the fruit is just starting to defrost. Stir well and then reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid.
  • Cook for 10-15 minutes until the fruit is fully defrosted* and warmed through but still holds its shape.
  • Remove the cinnamon stick and star anise before serving. Can be served hot or cold.

Notes

NB: if using fresh berries your compote will take a little less time to cook. It may also release less water.
