Compote

I'm a sucker for cooking for my family. "What do you want for...?" Those five words will kill me if I don't watch out.

Here's what I consider a quick breakfast for the boys: Oatmeal Pancakes with a Mixed Berry Compote. It's actually really easy to make if you use a frozen berry mix. My boys SCARF it.

Berry Compote

3 cups frozen mixed berries, thawed

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup water

4 Tbsp butter

Bring the sugar and water to a boil in a saucepan. Lower heat and simmer for 10 mins. Add thawed berries and simmer for 2 more mins. Add butter and stir until melted. Pour over pancakes, ice cream, cheesecake, etc.

Enjoy!
