raspberry compote recipe Ruby Raspberry Compote With Lemon Thread
- Total Time: 25 minutes
- Yield: 1.5 cups (6–8 servings) 1x
- Diet: Vegan, Paleo
Description
This Ruby Raspberry Compote With Lemon Thread is a vibrant, easy-to-make fruit sauce perfect for budget-conscious families and health-focused home cooks. It offers a smart balance of natural fruit nutrition and is significantly cheaper than store-bought options.
Ingredients
- 12 oz (340 g) fresh or frozen raspberries
- 0.25–0.5 cup (50–100 g) granulated sugar, to taste
- 1 medium lemon, zested and juiced
- 2–3 tablespoons (30–45 ml) water
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium 2-quart saucepan, gently combine 12 oz (340 g) raspberries (fresh or frozen), 0.25 to 0.5 cup (50-100 g) sugar, juice from 1 lemon, and 2-3 tablespoons (30-45 ml) water.
- Simmer Mixture: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Watch for the berries to visibly break down, which takes about 5-7 minutes.
- Thicken Compote: Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer, mashing some berries with a spoon, until the compote thickens to your desired consistency (another 5-10 minutes). If too thin, simmer longer; if too thick, stir in 1 tablespoon of water or extra lemon juice.
- Finish and Adjust: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the lemon zest. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
Notes
To balance flavors, add 0.5 teaspoon sugar at a time if too tart, or a tiny pinch of salt or a splash more lemon juice if too sweet. This recipe saves thawing time using frozen berries, is a one-pot meal for easy cleanup, and can be doubled for healthy meal prep.
