Sugar-free Berry Compote
Sugar-free Berry Compote
By Chef Katie Mae
Makes about 1½ cups | Ready in 15 minutes | Stores 10 days in fridge
INGREDIENTS
- 1 lb berries of your choice (fresh or frozen, with larger pieces sliced in half)
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds, ground
DIRECTIONS
- Place half of the sliced strawberries in a saucepan on the stovetop and cover. Cook them at medium-high heat until the juice from the strawberries comes to a light boil, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir frequently during this time to prevent the strawberries from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Then remove the lid and turn the heat to low-medium to cook the strawberries at a simmer for a couple minutes.
- Transfer the strawberry mixture to a small blender, add the ground chia seeds, and blend into a creamy puree.
- Repeat step one with the remaining half of the strawberries. Turn off the heat while the strawberries still have some of their shape.
- Stir the strawberry puree into the newly cooked strawberries. Transfer to a small serving dish and let it cool. As the compote sits it will continue to thicken.
CHEF’S NOTES
For extra sweetness, either add ½ cup of a fruit juice during step 1 OR add a few diced dates to the strawberries in step 2. Adding fruit juice will increase the simmering time because there will be more liquid to reduce.
