kelley’s tips
Use overripe berries: This berry compote recipe is perfect if you have berries that have just gotten a bit too mushy for your taste. Freeze for later: Mixed berry compote will last about 2 weeks in the fridge, but if you want to keep some around longer, you can always freeze it! I recommend pouring the compote into jars, then sealing while it is still hot. The compote will last in the freezer for up to 2 months. Give as a gift: Speaking of storing this compote recipe in jars — you can easily use cute mason jars with a personalized lid or tag and give as gifts. With so many ways to enjoy this berry compote, it’s a thoughtful gift that won’t collect dust on a shelf.
