Strawberry & blueberry compote

I always have a tub of compote in my fridge as I have it with breakfast almost everyday. It works so well with overnight oats, porridge, granola and yoghurt or pancakes adding flavour and sweetness in a nutritious way - head to the ‘Breakfast’ section for recipes.

My blueberry-hating children will also eat this, so it’s a good way of getting them to eat a wider variety of fruit!

Ingredients

• 400g frozen blueberries & strawberries

• 1-2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)

Method

• Warm the fruit in a lidded saucepan and once it has fully defrosted, take the lid off and simmer for 5 minutes.

• Use a potato masher to break up the larger pieces of fruit or blitz with a hand blender if you prefer a smoother texture.

• Stir in the honey or maple if you’re using. This compote is naturally quite sweet so you might like it without.
