Warm Winter Concoction: reLYME’s Mixed Berry Compote

The cold winter has undoubtedly been bone-chilling, even for me as a Floridian. And when the winter sweet tooth comes a-knockin’ on my door, I unfortunately can’t turn to my favorite sweet treat, ice cream.

In an attempt to quell my urge for something oh-so-sweet, I went scavenging in my kitchen this evening and discovered a relatively low-calorie, but very warm and indulgent mixed berry compote.

It is super easy and quick to prepare, and it’s so deliciously satisfying, it almost seems wrong. It is too delicious not to share. And believe me when I say the picture does not do it justice!

reLYME’s Mixed Berry Compote
You will need:

  • 1 cup frozen berries
  • 1/4 cup plain granola
  • 2 teaspoons agave nectar
  • 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 pinch cinnamon

To prepare, simply arrange the frozen berries and granola (I chose a mixture of raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries) in a small, microwave-safe bowl. Drizzle agave nectar over the berry/granola mixture. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon on top. Place in the microwave for about 1 minute and 30 seconds or until the berries begin to soften. Let cool for a minute before indulging. The result is pure heaven.
