Mixed Berry Compote

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 3 cups mixed berries (3/4 lb) such as raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries

Steps

1. Melt butter in a skillet over moderate heat. Stir in brown sugar and lemon juice until sugar is dissolved. Add berries and cook, tossing gently (try to keep most of them from breaking up), until berries are warm and juices begin to be released, 2 to 3 minutes.
2. Serve warm or at room temperature.
