This simple Blackberry Compote is made with just 3 ingredients in 10 minutes! It's healthier than jam and great on cheesecake, yogurt, pancakes and more!
Add the blackberries, sugar, lemon juice and water to a pot, stir and bring to the boil.
Allow it to boil for about 5 minutes, stirring often to stop it from scorching.
Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer and bubble for 10 minutes. It will thicken further as it cools.
Serve warm or allow to cool and store in a sterilised jar in the fridge for up to 5 days (or freeze for up to 2 months).
