Ingredients
  

  • 1 cups (200 grams, 7.05 ounces) raspberries fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup (125 grams, 4.41 ounces) blueberries fresh or frozen

  • 2 tablespoons Water
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Chia Seeds or basil seeds

Instructions
 

  • Place raspberries, blueberries, lemon or lime juice, sugar and water in a small pot. Over low to medium heat, bring to the boil. Stir occasionally. Frozen berries can take a bit longer to bring to the boil.
  • Boil the mixture for about 5 minutes, stir the mixture so that it does not burn. If you find the mixture rises when you are boiling it, slightly reduce the heat and stir.

  • Allow to cool completely before storing in a sterilised jar or glass container or serve warm. (see note 2).

Notes

1. The compote will thicken as it cools.
2. Sterilise your jar by pouring boiling water over the outside and inside of the jar.
