Ingredients
- 115g / 4oz fresh raspberries
- 115g / 4oz fresh strawberries, hulled
- 115g / 4oz fresh blueberries
- 115g / 4oz fresh blackberries
- 1 tablespoon flavored honey (heather or sunflower)
- 300ml / 0.5 pint low-fat set yogurt
- 1 vanilla pod
- Fresh mint leaves, to decorate
Instructions
- Rinse the fruit. Place all the fruits in a large colander and rinse well under cold water.
- Warm the fruit. Transfer the fruit to a large saucepan, spreading it out so it heats evenly. Add the honey and warm gently over low heat, carefully stirring to coat the fruit. As soon as it is warmed through, remove from the heat and allow to cool. Spoon into individual glasses.
- Make the vanilla yogurt. Split the vanilla pod lengthways and scrape out the seeds. Stir the seeds into the yogurt until evenly distributed. Place in a small serving bowl.
- Serve. Serve the compote alongside or spooned over the vanilla yogurt, decorated with fresh mint leaves.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve in clear glasses to showcase the vibrant berry colors
- Pair with a light, crisp biscuit for added texture
- Offer as a bright finish to a summer barbecue or garden lunch
- A scattering of toasted flaked almonds adds a pleasant crunch
- Serve slightly warm for a comforting contrast against the cool yogurt
Tips and Variations
- Warm the fruit gently and briefly. The goal is just to release the juices and glaze the berries, not to fully cook them down.
- A real vanilla pod gives the best flavor and appearance in the yogurt, though a good vanilla extract can substitute in a pinch.
- Flavored honeys like heather or sunflower add subtle complexity, though any good-quality honey works well.
- This compote is naturally adaptable to whatever berries are freshest and most available.
- Serve immediately after warming for the best texture, as the berries will continue to soften if left to sit too long.
Why This Recipe Works
Gently warming the berries rather than fully cooking them preserves their fresh, bright flavor while still allowing the honey to create a light, glossy glaze and draw out some natural juices. Using real vanilla bean seeds in the yogurt, rather than a generic vanilla flavoring, gives the base a genuinely fragrant, high-quality character that elevates this simple combination of fruit and yogurt into something that feels considered and special.
Storage
Best served immediately after warming. If needed, store the cooled compote in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day and serve cold or gently reheated.
