To make this berry compote you only need a pot and a potato masher to mash the fruit. If you're looking for a creamier texture you can blend it, but I used a masher because I like a more liquid texture.

Pro tips

• You can either use fresh or frozen fruit, although I like it better when I use seasonal fresh fruit.

• If your compote becomes too watery, add 1 teaspoon of chia seeds after it's done.
• You can also incorporate other spices like ground cinnamon, ground or fresh ginger, vanilla extract, lemon or orange zest, etc.
