Instructions

  1. Step 1: Combine 2 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen), 3 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp lemon juice in a saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently until berries break down (about 8 minutes).
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk 1 tsp arrowroot powder with 2 tbsp cold water until smooth. Slowly stir into the simmering berry mixture.
  3. Step 3: Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until the compote thickens to a spoonable consistency that coats the back of a spoon.
  4. Step 4: Remove from heat and stir in finely chopped fresh mint leaves. Let cool to room temperature before serving.
