Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Combine berries, sugar, and water in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

  2. Step 2

    Stir occasionally until the berries release their juices and sugar dissolves, ~8 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Whisk cornstarch with 1 tbsp cold water until smooth; pour into the saucepan.

  4. Step 4

    Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and looks glossy, ~2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Pour into a bowl and chill for 5 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    In a separate bowl, whip cold cream with a whisk until soft peaks form, ~3 minutes.

  7. Step 7

    Divide the chilled compote among serving bowls. Top each with a dollop of whipped cream.
