raspberry compote recipe Hot Pink Gloss
- Total Time: 60 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings (about 1.5 cups) 1x
- Diet: Vegetarian
Description
This simple raspberry compote recipe creates a truly vibrant, Hot Pink Gloss that elevates any meal. It’s a fantastic, family-friendly way to add natural sweetness and a homemade touch to breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
- 2 cups raspberries, fresh or frozen
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar, or to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium 2-quart saucepan, add the 2 cups of raspberries, 0.25 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons water. Stir these gently just to combine (you want to keep some berries whole for texture).
- Simmer Mixture: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries begin to break down and the liquid thickens slightly. (If the mixture looks too dry at any point, splash in an extra tablespoon of water.)
- Mash Berries (Optional): For a smoother compote, gently mash some of the raspberries with a fork or potato masher directly in the pan.
- Cool Compote: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the compote cool completely to room temperature. It will thicken considerably more as it cools, achieving a beautiful, glossy consistency.
Notes
Use fresh raspberries when in season for the best flavor, or frozen for year-round convenience. You can reduce sugar to 2 tablespoons for less sweetness, or use maple syrup for a different flavor profile. Bottled lemon juice works too if you’re out of fresh. For low-carb options, consider using erythritol or stevia as a direct 1:1 sugar substitute. Do not overcook, as this can make the compote too jam-like. Using a non-stick saucepan makes cleanup a breeze.
