Frozen Berry Recipes For the Win!
This berry compote is so versatile – you can use any fresh or frozen berries that you have on hand. Frozen produce is a great option for finding fresh and flavorful fruits in the off season. By using freezer ingredients, I can stock up when they are on sale, and use them in all kinds of great dishes. It saves me a trip to the store, and I can add amazing fruits right into the recipe. Frozen fruits are often picked at peak ripeness, so they are a much better option than canned. Check out all my recipes that use Freezer Ingredients on The Herbeevore – great for those nights when you want dinner ready fast!

- Fresh or Frozen berries – I used fresh berries for this compote because I had some on hand… but normally I would make them with frozen berries like these. Frozen fruit is amazing to stock up on when it’s on sale, so you can enjoy flavorful produce in the off season. I like this blend of berries from Whole Foods, it’s my go-to for smoothies, this berry compote for pancakes, and also to add into oatmeal.
- Agave Syrup: I really like using this raw organic agave syrup because it’s a natural and sustainable sweetener, plus it is ridiculously inexpensive online so I always keep a few of these bottles in my pantry.
- Water
- Cinnamon: which gives this compote is a depth of flavor! I just put in a little for a warm and subtle hint of spice.
- Corn Starch: the secret to thicken the sauce at the end, it really makes a difference. I like Anthony’s brand organic corn starch best.

A Great Clean-Out-The-Fridge Sauce Recipe!
This whole30 berry compote recipe is the perfect vehicle to use up any older fruit, berries, or jams you have on hand. Add your favorite ingredients and enjoy! A fantastic way to use ripe produce before it goes bad – save those berries and cook them down in this compote – it is delicious.
How Do I Make Compote with Berries?
- To a sauce pot, add the berries, agave syrup, and water. Cook on medium high heat, stirring frequently. The berries will dissolve and become juicer in the pan. Cook for about 10 minutes total until the berries are warm and jam-my.
- Stir in the cinnamon. If the compote is too watery, stir in the corn starch and cook for an additional minute until compote is thicker.
- Top compote on pancakes, waffles, crepes, oatmeal, or French toast… and enjoy!
