berry compote

Cooked fruit sauce

Berry compote is a sauce made by gently cooking berries with sugar and sometimes liquid until they soften and release their juices.

Unlike jam, compote retains distinct fruit pieces and has a looser consistency.

It typically accompanies desserts, pancakes, or yogurt: She spooned warm berry compote over vanilla ice cream.
