Fruit compote is a healthier and more refreshing version of jam and a great way to liven up anything from English muffins to pancakes. I used strawberries in this recipe but the fruit component can be substituted with a variety of fruits, such as plums, raspberries, blackberries or blueberries. Many compotes are made with sugar, however I opted for a healthier version made with honey.
