This easy to make blackberry compote has that great balance of sweet and tart. There is a hint of lemon and plenty of berries. 

This sauce works great with fresh berries as well as frozen.  We get gallons of blackberries off our bushes each year.

Ingredients including blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch ready to be made into blackberry compote.

We use a bunch during the summer and freeze the rest for making our favorite blackberry recipes throughout the year. This compote was delicious baked into blackberry sweet rolls.

It would also be great over a little bit of yogurt with a sprinkling of maple cinnamon granola. Or try some drizzled over a stack of pancakes.

It is a lot like the blackberry sauce that we love on cheesecake. This recipe is just a bit sweeter and thicker than the sauce.

The options really are endless. So go ahead and whip up a batch and start figuring out your favorite way to use it!

Signature that says Enjoy! Carlee.
