• Completely sugar-free
• Quick, easy, done in 15 minutes

WHAT YOU NEED FOR SUGAR FREE RASPBERRY COMPOTE

• Raspberries: I use frozen instead of fresh raspberries so I always know they'll be ripe. Plus, frozen is usually more cost effective
• Monk fruit: This replaces the sugar in the compote so recipe is entirely sugar-free. My favorites are Whole Earth or Lakanto. You could substitute with a half cup sugar if you don't have any monk fruit, but it won't be sugar free.
• Orange juice: This is a personal preference, I love orange and raspberry together, but you could use lemon juice in it's place.

HOW TO MAKE THIS HEALTHY RASPBERRY COMPOTE

1. In a medium saucepan combine frozen raspberries, monk fruit, orange juice, and water. Set the stove to medium heat and gently begin to stir everything around with a wooden spoon
2. Let this easy fruit compote come to a boil, stirring occasionally, and boil for 10-15 minutes.
3. You want a thick sauce that will coat the back of a spoon, but not so thick that it's like a jam because it will thicken more as it cools
4. Once desired texture is achieved, turn off the heat, take the pot off, and let it cool completely

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RASPBERRY COULIS AND COMPOTE?

There's quite a few differences between a compote and a coulis. This main difference is that a compote is fresh or frozen fruit that's cooked down with citrus and sugar while a coulis is a sweetened, strained fruit puree. It really comes down to the texture, a compote will have the raspberry seeds and be chunkier, while a coulis is seedless and more of a smooth sauce.

HOW LONG DOES A COMPOTE LAST?

If stored in an airtight container in the fridge, it will last for 7-10 days. You'll just want to make sure the compote is fully cooled before storing it in the container.

EXPERT TIPS

• Read the entire recipe first
• Substitute lemon or lime juice for the orange juice
• A ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract would make a great addition
• You want the liquid of the compote to coat the back of a spoon, but don't boil too much or you'll end up just a jam like texture
• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week

FAQs

1. Do I have to use frozen raspberries? No, you don't. You can use fresh berries, but I just find the frozen to be more convenient and cost effective.
2. What do you use fruit compote for? There's tons of ways to use it! I listed a few above in the post, but it's also something great just to have on hand for quick, easy snacks, desserts, or breakfasts.
3. Can I use other kinds of berries? This recipe is specifically designed for raspberries, but you may be able to substitute them with frozen blackberries. (I can't guarantee anything though.) I already have a recipe for peach compote if that would interest you!
