A classic German dessert item using a variety of red berries. Serve with vanilla ice cream, vanilla pudding, rice pudding, whipped cream, etc. You can use fresh or frozen unsweetened raspberries, strawberries, red currants, or a combination of the three.
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup raspberries
1 cup cherries, seeds removed
1 cup strawberries, hulled and quartered
1 cup blackberries
½ cup sugar
¾ cup water, divided
4 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 cinnamon stick
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS:
Add fruit, sugar, and ½ cup water to a saucepan and set heat to medium. Stir frequently until mixture comes to a boil. Drop cinnamon stick into mixture and stir to release flavor. Reduce heat and allow fruit to simmer and break down.
Stir in vanilla extract. Whisk together cornstarch and ¼ cup water (or juice) and stir to combine with fruit mixture. If needed, add more water (or juice) if compote becomes too thick.
Turn off heat and remove cinnamon stick. Stir in 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
Pudding may be served warm or cold, and topped with whipped cream or fresh sweet cream.
