Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 2 –3 tbsp sweetener sugar, honey, or keto-friendly sweetener like erythritol/monk fruit
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest optional, for brightness
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract optional, for depth

Method
 

Cook the Berries:
  1. Place raspberries in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add sweetener and lemon juice.
Simmer:
  1. Stir occasionally and let mixture simmer for 8–10 minutes, until berries break down and juices thicken slightly.
Add Flavor:
  1. Stir in vanilla extract and lemon zest if using.
Cool:
  1. Remove from heat and let compote cool slightly. It will thicken more as it cools.
Serve or Store:
  1. Use warm over pancakes, waffles, or yogurt—or chill and store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Notes

For Extra Thick Compote: Stir in 1 tsp chia seeds while cooking—they’ll thicken it naturally.
Smooth Version: Blend compote with an immersion blender if you prefer a seedless, smooth sauce.
Freezer-Friendly: Store in freezer-safe jars for up to 3 months. Just thaw before serving.
Flavor Variations: Add a cinnamon stick, a splash of orange juice, or mix with strawberries for a twist.
