Ingredients

  • 18 ounces 3 standard packages fresh raspberries
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice optional for some tartness

Instructions

  • Add the raspberries and honey 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. The compote will thicken as it cools.
  • To make a parfait, layer yogurt (vanilla, plain, greek, non-dairy– up to you), raspberry compote, fresh raspberries, and gluten-free granola. Enjoy!
  • Storage: Store any leftover compote in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.

Notes

  • Using frozen berries: This compote can be made with frozen raspberries if you don’t have fresh berries on hand! Just increase the cooking time in Step 3 by 2-3 minutes. 
  • Vegan compote: If you want to make this compote vegan, feel free to swap the honey for granulated sugar, agave, or maple syrup.
  • Variations: Feel free to add vanilla, lemon juice, or lemon zest to your compote, if you'd like!
