Description

This simple blackberry compote has the consistency of a chunky fruit syrup. It's lovely drizzled over ice cream, crêpes, yogurt, oatmeal, or ricotta toast.

Ingredients

2 cups fresh blackberries
1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 pinch salt

Directions

1 Combine blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, and salt in a saucepan. Toss to coat and let sit for 5 minutes.
2 Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until sauce has reduced and thickened slightly, 15 to 20 minutes.
3 Remove from the heat and cool for a few minutes before serving, or refrigerate for later use; it will thicken further as it cools.
