This compote, a fresh alternative to maple syrup, is also delicious with pancakes or waffles.

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons unsalted butter

  • ½ cup sugar

  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice, strained

  • ½ pint fresh blueberries, washed and picked over

  • ½ pint fresh raspberries

  • ½ pint fresh blackberries

  • 1 pint fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and cut in half

Directions

  1. In a medium saute pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add sugar and orange juice; cook until sugar begins to dissolve, about 2 minutes.

  2. Add blueberries and cook until they begin to release juice, about 1 minute. Add raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries and cook until soft and ready to burst, about 2 minutes, depending on ripeness. Shake pan gently or use a rubber spatula to stir carefully (do not crush berries). Serve immediately.
