Put the berries into a pot and simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes. Then add the sugar or honey and the ginger (optional). Add the water and sweet wine, and let it simmer for about another 20 minutes until the berries are soft but not mashed. At last add the cinnamon.

Optional

Cranberries, apples or any other seasonal fruits can be used to your preference. For sweeter texture use apples or pears, for a more sour texture pitted cherries or cranberries could be used. The preparation of the compote is the same.

For a more savoury texture do not add any honey or sugar, just frui,t and stir for 10 minutes until slightly soft but still crunchy. The result is a healthy and wonderful simple dish for a summer’s evening
