Why I like this…
I like using a berry compote over syrup as a healthier alternative which can be used on pancakes or even as a topper for plain yogurt. On the surface, it may appear like too much work, but it comes together in just a few minutes and you can make batches of it that you can freeze for use later.
Why it matters…
As an alternative to traditional syrup, this compote can act as a serving of fruit and offers potassium and vitamin C.
