Berry Compote

This recipe is simple, quick and very vibrant in color. Fresh or frozen fruits can be used in this recipe. I used fresh Driscoll's strawberries and frozen Wyman's of Maine blueberries.

Ingredients:

2 cups strawberries

1 cup blueberries

1/2 Tablespoon sugar

2 Tbsp cornstarch

Water

Directions:

1. Place fruit and sugar in small saucepan and gently mix.

2. Over low-medium heat frequently stir until fruit releases juices.

3. In a cup, mix cornstarch & a few drops water with a fork to make a smooth mixture, stir slowly a small amount of the mixture into saucepan until desired thickness is reached. Keep warm until ready to serve.

*You can reduce or leave out the added sugar, but it helps to decrease the tartness of the final product.
