Ingredients
- 250 grams fresh or frozen raspberries
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine raspberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of water.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Once the fruit begins to release its juices and the sugar dissolves, continue to cook for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the berries to break down.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the remaining tablespoon of water with the cornstarch to create a slurry.
Step 5
Slowly stir the cornstarch slurry into the raspberry mixture.
Step 6
Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the compote thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 7
Remove from heat and let the compote cool slightly. It will thicken a bit more as it cools down.
Step 8
Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
