Huckleberry Compote Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh or frozen huckleberries (If using frozen, do not thaw to preserve texture.)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar (Adjust sweetness to taste depending on berry tartness.)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (Enhances brightness and preserves color.)
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest (Adds fragrant citrus notes.)
• 1/4 cup water (Helps cook down the berries without making it too watery.)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional) (Introduces a warm undertone to the compote.)
