Pressure Cooker Fresh Berry Compote (Stewed Fruit)

Pressure Cooker Fresh Berry Compote is a sweet and refreshing summer treat. A minute in the Pressure Cooker is all it takes!

In a few minutes, you can easily make Pressure Cooker Fresh Berry Compote.

My dad was the King of “stewed” fruit. I’m not sure I have ever seen anyone love fruit as much as my dad. He just took a bite out of an apple or a pear; he grabbed a plate, knife and his fruit and would slice off a piece one by one.

Stewed prunes and stewed fruit were favorites. I guess now stewed fruit is called “compote.” Rather than standing over a stove and watching to make sure the fruit comes out just right, it’s really simple to make in the Pressure Cooker.

I get my love for compote from my dad. Fresh fruit was a must have in our house at all times. My dad loved to mix all kinds of fruit together to make his compote.

I love using fresh blueberries, strawberries, blackberries and raspberries, together, separately, whatever I like. I’ll usually make my compote with whatever looks freshest at the market.

Cast of Ingredients for Instant Pot Berries Compote

  • Strawberries, Blueberries
  • Sugar
  • Lemon

Since making my own Instant Pot Greek Yogurt, I’ve been making Berry Compote about once a week. We love to add a Tablespoon of compote to the bottom of a Mason Jars and filling it with yogurt.

Add the blueberries and strawberries to your Pressure Cooker cooking pot.

Because we make our own strawberry ice cream, I learned a little trick a long time ago. Add the sugar to the fruit, mix it around and let it sit for a bit. Lots of liquid will release from the berries, so you don’t need to add additional liquid to the Pressure Cooker cooking pot.

 

20160621_150103

Look how much liquid is now in the cooking pot! No water need; all fruit. Add a little squeeze of lemon and/or orange juice, if you like and it’s ready to cook.

 

20160621_154636

It’s so warm and fruitiliciousness! If you want to add a little Vanilla Beans, scrape some of the caviar out now and mix through.

Uses for Compote

  • French Toast
  • Ice Cream
  • Oatmeal
  • Yogurt
  • Pancakes

We like to add compote to the bottom of a Mason Jar and then fill with Homemade Instant Pot Greek Yogurt and store in the refrigerator. It’s a great grab and go breakfast or snack.

Cheesecake, uuuuuum, Cheesecake. This compote is great in my Red, White and Blue Cheesecake Singles. These little Kerr Half Pint (8 oz) Mason Jars come in so handy to save  and then serve the compote.

Instructions

  • Add fruit to Instant Pot cooking pot. 
  • Sprinkle with sugar and let sit 20 minutes.  Add a little squeeze of orange juice.
  • Lock on lid and Close Pressure Valve.  Cook at High Pressure (most machines default to high pressure) for 1 minute.
  • When Beep sounds, wait 10 minutes and then switch the pressure value to vent and release the rest of the pressure.
  • Remove lid and stir.
  • Compote will thicken as it cools.
  • For a thicker, jelly like consistency, add 1/4 teaspoon of cornstarch and simmer until desired thickness.

Notes

Any kind of berries, fruit or cherries will work, so use whatever you love.
Frozen fruit will work too, but will produce additional liquid.  If first defrosted, pour out water and then add the sugar.
