Ingredients

• 1 cup Fresh strawberries
• 1 cup Fresh blueberries
• 1 cup Fresh raspberries
• 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Cold water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse all the berries (strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries) thoroughly under cold water and drain them well.

Step 2

Hull and quarter the strawberries for even cooking.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, maple syrup, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of water.

Step 4

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture gently to combine.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Allow the fruits to cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the berries release their juices and begin to soften.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 teaspoon of cold water until smooth to create a slurry.

Step 7

Stir the cornstarch slurry into the simmering berry mixture, ensuring thorough incorporation to avoid lumps.

Step 8

Continue cooking the compote over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to your desired consistency, approximately 2-3 more minutes.

Step 9

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract to add depth of flavor.

Step 10

Let the berry compote cool for a few minutes before serving, or allow it to cool completely before storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
