Blackberry Compote Sauce

When in season I buy all types of fresh berries and flash freeze them. This easy compote was made with blackberries that I froze but you can always use fresh. Ready in under 15 minutes and with minimal cleanup. Top your waffles, pancakes, French toast, ice cream, yogurt, cottage cheese, or eat it by the spoonful. The choices are endless.
