Easy Raspberry Compote (3 Ingredients!)
2 cups
This EASY 3-ingredient raspberry compote takes just minutes to make! Spoon it over everything from waffles and pancakes to ice cream and cheesecake—you’ll want to keep a jar in your fridge at all times!
Ingredients
- 18 ounces (510g) fresh raspberries 3 standard packages
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice optional for some tartness
Instructions
- Add the raspberries and honey (and lemon juice if using) to a small saucepan set over medium heat.
- Stir the raspberries and honey together, gently mashing the raspberries as you stir.
- Cook the berry mixture for 5-7 minutes, or until it is bubbling and thick.
- Remove the pan from the heat and allow the compote to cool completely before storing in an airtight container. The compote will thicken as it cools.
Notes
Frozen berries: It can be made with frozen raspberries too! Just increase the cooking time in step 3 by 2-3 minutes.
Vegan compote: If you want to make it vegan, swap the honey for granulated sugar, agave, or maple syrup.
Flavor variations: Add lemon juice or zest for a little tartness. Or add vanilla to make it a little sweeter.
To Make-Ahead: This is a great make-ahead recipe! It can be made up to 1 week in advance!
To Store: Let it cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Stir before using.
To Freeze: Let it cool completely, then transfer to a freezer-safe, airtight container. It will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and stir before using.
