I don’t know about you, but I love anything that makes my life easier. Frozen foods is no different. I love when we can get our hands on fresh fruits and veggies. However, depending on the time of year or if I just can’t make it to the store (sometimes it’s hard with 6 little ones!) then I like to have a good stock of frozen options in the freezer! Today’s recipe for an easy mixed berry compote is made with frozen fruits. So it’s easy to make anytime of year and you can guarantee you have the ingredients on hand for a delicious topping for anything from yogurt to pancakes! This post is sponsored by Smart & Final. All opinions are my own.

easy mixed berry compote recipe
Our family likes to have big breakfasts on Sundays. When I spotted the big box of 188 count First Street Buttermilk Mini Pancakes and the 3 pound bag of the frozen First Street Berry Medley I knew they would be the perfect combination! Not only could we have a filling and delicious breakfast, but making it and clean up would be a breeze! I decided to make an easy mixed berry compote to go with our pancakes. If you think you need fresh fruit to make a tasty fruit topping, you’re wrong!

Thank you. I bought a huge bag of frozen fruit
My only two questions are: Do I have to can this in boiling water or can I just keep it in the fridge indefinitely? Besides pancakes, which I rarely eat, what else can I do with this?
Thank you.
Hi Jeannete! This would be delicious as a topping for crepes, ice cream, toast, or cake. Use it to make a crisp or cobbler. You could also layer it a parfait with yogurt and granola. I don’t have experience with canning it although I don’t know why you couldn’t using a water bath method.
Thank you!
Thank you!
