Skip the maple syrup! This Berry Compote is easy to make and is a delicious topping for pancakes or waffles!
You can have this Berry Compote cooking on the stove while you are preparing your waffles or pancakes. Or, you can make it a day ahead and just reheat it the next morning. Waffles with homemade fruit compote on a Monday? If you have some frozen homemade waffles and this made up ahead of time, then yes! Yes, you can! Your kids will think you are the best! Or husband, in my case. 🙂
Of course, you don’t have to limit yourself to putting this on just waffles and pancakes. You can stir some into your oatmeal or plain yogurt. Pour a little on top of some ice cream or frozen yogurt. The choice is all yours. Me? I went with some homemade Einkorn waffles. Mouthwateringly good!

Instructions
- In a 2 qt. sauce pan, add the strawberries, blueberries, lemon juice and coconut sugar and stir together. Heat over medium heat until it starts to bubble, then lightly mash the fruit and stir.

Don’t you love the fresh berries this time of year in the kitchen? They make everyone happy so easily. But in this case you did work hard making those ‘clean’ waffles too. Your husband is a lucky man!
Fresh berries are awesome this time of year! Really trying to take advantage of them this Summer!
