Easy Berry Compote Recipe for Desserts

I always think a compote does not get enough attention, a very simple addition to add to almost any dessert.

The great thing is a compote is so easy to make and really quick

The lovely thing is you can use so many different berries together or individually to create this really tasty addition.
While I do have a preference for dropping a little onto a Ice-Cream or cream, it goes really well in place of a jam, giving a smoother less thick option over jam.
Waffles, crepes, scones, pancakes, porridge or just toast are all great with a scoop of compote .
