What to keep in mind.
6 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture and best flavor contrast with the tart compote.
- 2Let the compote cool for at least 5 minutes before swirling into the yogurt to prevent it from thinning out the yogurt.
- 3Fold the compote in just 2-3 times for distinct ribbons; overmixing will turn the entire bowl pink and muddy the flavor layers.
- 4For a thicker compote, mash a few berries against the side of the pan while simmering to release natural pectin.
- 5Make the compote up to 5 days ahead and store in the fridge; reheat gently or use cold for a different texture.
- 6If using frozen berries, add an extra minute of simmer time and drain off excess liquid before adding to the pan.

Reduce honey to 1 teaspoon or omit entirely. Choose very ripe berries for natural sweetness, and add a dash of cinnamon or vanilla to enhance perceived sweetness.
