How to Make Berry Compote in Your Instant Pot \/ Pressure Cooker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This easy Berry Compote<\/strong> recipe will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker, including the Instant Pot<\/a>, Ninja Foodi<\/a>, or Power Pressure Cooker XL<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re used to making fruit compote on the stovetop, you\u2019ll notice a few differences in this pressure cooker recipe. For starters, it\u2019s cleaner, quicker, and easier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This pressure cooker recipe is as simple as tossing in your ingredients, bringing the pot up to pressure, releasing, and mixing in a simple cornstarch slurry. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be sure to let the slurry boil for a minute or so after adding. This ensures there\u2019s no raw starch flavor in your berry compote. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Much Liquid to Add to Make the Berry Compote<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This recipe is a little different from the majority of other Instant Pot recipes because it doesn’t add cooking liquid at the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the fruit cooks under pressure, it releases water, which becomes your cooking liquid.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that Instant Pot berry compote has a stronger, fruitier flavor that\u2019s less diluted by additional cooking water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 Tip:<\/strong> If you\u2019re nervous about making this berry compote recipe without adding water, you can always use the pot-in-pot method<\/a>.
\u2022 Place the ingredients in a 7\u00d73-inch cake pan.
\u2022 Place a trivet and 1 cup water in the pressure cooking pot.
\u2022 Use a sling to carefully lower the cake pan onto the trivet.
\u2022 Continue with the recipe as directed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Fruit Is Best for Instant Pot Berry Compote?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I love using fresh blueberries and strawberries for this compote recipe. However, any fruit with a high water content is great for compote in the pressure cooker. Think<\/p>\n\n\n\n
