I made this compote to serve as a sauce with a white chocolate bread pudding and it was delicious! It was super easy to make. The only modifications I made were using frozen berries instead of fresh and using 3/4 of the butter the recipe called for. I also cooked it a little longer than specified in the recipe to make it thicker and smoother since I was using it as a sauce.

Very quick to make; totally delicious! I used half the sugar and used white wine instead of water (decadent personal taste preferences). Loved the blend of flavours: the contrasting tartness and slight sweetness. Topped with a dollop of creamy Greek yoghurt and some toasted slivered almonds. YUM! Thanks for sharing this recipe. Made for Gimme 5.
