Cherry And Raspberry Compote Recipes

RASPBERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Bring water to boil.
• Add raspberries and sugar.
• Allow to boil until desired thickness, 25-45 minutes.
• If compote is not thick enough and a cornstarch and water slurry.
• Serve over ice cream, pancakes, or waffles.
• May use strawberries, blueberries, peaches, mangoes, or apples, or a combination in place of raspberries.

EASY CHERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Put the cherries into a wide, deep frying pan, add 150ml water, then bring to the boil. Cook for 15 mins, stirring now and again until the fruit is starting to soften. Tip in the sugar, stir until it dissolves, add the lemon juice and brandy, then bring back to the boil.
• Cook for 15 mins until the fruit has collapsed a little and the sauce is syrupy, smooth and dark purple. Spoon a little of the juice onto a saucer and leave to cool for 30 secs. Push it with your finger; it's ready if the syrup wrinkles. Ladle into sterilised jars (see tip, below) and seal.

SIMPLE TART CHERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Bring 3/4 cup water, sugar, and cinnamon to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer until sugar is dissolved, 3 to 4 minutes. Add cherries; bring back to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until cherries soften, about 5 minutes.
• Mix 2 tablespoons water and cornstarch together in a small bowl; pour over the cherry mixture in the saucepan. Stir until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a container and refrigerate.

CHERRY AND RASPBERRY COMPOTE RECIPE

Steps:

• Pour 4 tbsp water into a pan and add the cherries, sugar and lemon juice. Place the pan over a medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Cook the cherries over a low heat for about 5-10 mins, until they have released some juices but aren't overcooked.
• Add the raspberries to the pan and cook for a further 1-2 mins, until they've started to soften. Remove the pan from the heat and leave the mixture to cool, then chill it well before serving with Greek yogurt.

CRANBERRY-CHERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Bring cranberries, cherries, brown sugar, cider, and pepper to a boil over high heat in a medium saucepan. Cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, then stir in bourbon. Reduce heat, bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring often and pushing fruit against the side of the pan with the back of a wooden spoon to break apart slightly, until thick and syrupy, about 25 minutes more. Let cool completely.
