Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do you thicken blackberry compote?
For a thicker compote, you can stir 1tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 teaspoon water (called a ‘slurry’) into the compote at the end of cooking and cook for a further minute. This won’t affect the taste or look of the compote but will thicken it.
What is the difference between jam and compote?
Compote is usually cooked with other ingredients, such as spices and lemon juice, while jam is normally cooked with just sugar. They normally take around the same time to make – about 20 minutes.
Jam usually contains pectin, which makes it thicker.
How long does blackberry compote last?
You can store compote in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to two weeks because the lemon juice helps to preserve it. Once opened, it’ll last for 4 days.
Con you freeze compote?
If you want to keep blackberry compote for longer, you can place it in freezable storage jars and keep it for up to six months.
