Ingredients

• 2 medium, peeled, cored, and diced apples
• 2 medium, peeled, cored, and diced pears
• 1.5 cups frozen mixed berries
• 0.5 cup fresh orange juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the diced apples, diced pears, and frozen mixed berries.

Step 2

Add fresh orange juice, lemon juice, honey or maple syrup, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and water to the saucepan. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and let the fruit mixture cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook until the fruits are soft and the mixture has thickened slightly.

Step 5

Use a fork or potato masher to lightly mash some of the fruits, leaving a few chunks for texture. Adjust sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if desired.

Step 6

Remove the compote from heat and let it cool slightly. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.

Step 7

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
