 | 2 pounds boysenberries, fresh or frozen
|
|
 | ½ - ¾ cup sugar, to taste
|
|
 | 1½ cups orange juice
|
|
 | 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
|
|
 | 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
|
|
 | 1/3 cup warm water (to dissolve
cornstarch) |
|
For the compote, in a large saucepan, combine the
boysenberries, sugar to taste, orange juice and nutmeg. Dissolve the cornstarch
in the warm water and set aside. Bring the fruit mixture to a boil and remove
from heat. Pour about half of the cornstarch liquid into the boysenberry mixture
and return the saucepan to the heat. Whisking constantly, bring the compote back
to a boil. The compote should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If
necessary, add the remaining cornstarch in the same manner as before. Keep warm.
