Simple Mixed Berry Compote Recipe From Frozen Berries

February 7, 2019 Comment : 1

If you know me, you know I wasn’t much of a cook. However, in efforts to spend less time running around, save money (that’s the big one), and mainly because my kids prefer to not eat out. So in the beginning of the year we adjusted our eating in addition to taking some time in prayer for our current season of life. This mixed berry compote recipe was the perfect mix of healthy and satisfying!

Well let me tell you, the adjustment yielded some amazing recipes and has greatly expanded our repertoire of good eats here at Casa Galeano! So for this I used a multigrain French bread and the recipe below from this Five Heart Home.

Mind you I did alter the recipe to fit what we had. I didn’t have cornstarch so this worked out, there are also even simpler recipes than this one but do require sugar.

Mixed Berry Compote Recipe

What you Need:

  • 2 cups frozen mixed berries
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh-squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

What you Do:

  1. In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, combine 2 cups blueberries, maple syrup, water, lemon juice, and cinnamon.
  2. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 5 to 8 more minutes (or until compote reaches your desired consistency), stirring frequently.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Serve warm.

Tip:

Be patient this compote doesn’t necessarily become extremely thick, but it does need time to really solidify. Watch it, but don’t remove it from the stove too soon!

Let’s talk about shame... When the Lord started Let’s talk about shame...

When the Lord started walking me through how my approach to correcting behavior started to look more like shaming... it was humbling and convicting. 

Many times my desire to correct overrides any opportunity to understand and walk through the challenge together. 

When I yell, dismiss, or even explode at what they shouldn’t be doing - I communicate shame rather than offering wise counsel. Especially with abstract concepts that deal with the heart like lying, pride, anger...

It hit me most when I yelled at my angry child for lashing out 👀 - as I watched myself I felt the Lord nudge me with how can you correct sin while sinning? 

... oh the embarrassment, but the chance to do better.

Quieting my own self and taking it in, because conviction makes room for growth not shame. 

I’ve asked the Lord more and more to calm my voice with the intent of allowing true change as I parent. Praying my heart is bent more to seeing how God restores and transforms our behaviors to reflect true goodness. Rather than a God who shames as they see me shame them. #christinmotherhood

Everyone then who hears these words of mine and do Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. Matthew 7:24

There’s power in praying our family grows in God’s word and even more as we see ways to apply it daily. I’ve come to realize there’s a spiritual home we’ve been called to build it looks like this family.

In our character, how we reflect Christ, and how we model that for our kids - even invite them to do the same.

I started working on this portrait of us and wanted to symbolize how we’re planted. When times have been their hardest - it’s been God’s word that’s sustained us. #foundationinchrist
