Raspberry Compote
This easy raspberry compote is fresh, tangy and delicious. It's easy to make with just three ingredients and perfect over ice cream, cheesecake or pavlova, yum!
Ingredients
- 3 cups (1lbs/450gms) raspberries
- ¼ - ½ cup cup (55 - 110gms) white sugar (depending how sweet your raspberries are)
- 1 & ½ tablespoons fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Slice and juice the lime.
- Add the raspberries, ¼ cup sugar and lime juice to a small pot. Heat on medium, gently stirring occasionally, until the raspberries are defrosted (if using frozen). Continu to heat untill the sugar is mix in it start to bubble.
- Taste the sauce and add more sugar if needed.
- Reduce to low heat and cook for a further fifteen to twenty minutes. stirring gently occasionally.
- If serving warm server immediatly. Other wise remove from heat and allow to cool. Tranfer to a heat proof container and chill in fridge untill needed. The compote will thicken more as it cools.
Notes
- This recipe makes a chunky sauce. If you want a smoother sauce you can stir it more when cooking to break down the raspberries more, or strain once cooled for a seedless sauce.
- Raspberries can vary in their sweetness. Fresh raspberries are generally sweeter than frozen raspberries. I recommend starting with ¼ cup sugar, taste the compote, then gradually add more if the compote is to tart for you. I used frozen raspberries and use ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar (85gms) in this compote
