Cooking Time: 15 minutesPreperation Time: 5 minutes

Gathering Ingredients

Collect approximately 300-400 grams of mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries), 50-100 grams of sugar, 5 grams of lemon juice, and 50-100 ml of water or fruit juice.

Preparation

Rinse the berries and if necessary, cut larger berries like strawberries into smaller pieces to ensure even cooking.

Cooking

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the berries, sugar, lemon juice, and water or fruit juice. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the berries have softened and the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency, typically around 10-15 minutes.

Serving

Allow the compote to cool slightly before serving. It can be enjoyed warm or cold, and makes an excellent topping for desserts and breakfast dishes.
