# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It comes together in less than half an hour, which means you can make it whenever a craving hits without overthinking it.
  • The compote tastes homemade in a way that feels almost impossible when you taste how good it is, proving that simplicity sometimes wins.
02 -
  • Don't skip the cooling step—warm compote will make the yogurt too thin and runny, turning your beautiful bowl into something watery within minutes.
  • The compote keeps in the fridge for up to five days, which means you can make a batch and have breakfast solved for multiple mornings if you're smart about it.
03 -
  • Mashing some berries while leaving others whole is the key to texture—it prevents the compote from becoming jammy and one-note.
  • If your strawberries aren't particularly sweet, add an extra teaspoon of sugar and taste as you go rather than waiting until the end to adjust.
