Berry Pie Filling/Jelly/Compote

Sure you can now just buy the pie filling from the store and be done with it. Trust me, I was the queen of convenience. I just didn't think to question the products on our store shelves. And thats the EXACT reason why we've become so complaisant with food companies and the products they market. That's the exact reason why we've become a society riddled with  chronic issues and ailments.

If you are looking to control your ingredients, provide a fresher, healthier alternative then you should make this. This recipe is so easy its laughable, plus its so versatile. I made this for a berry topping on top of my mini cheesecakes. Then I used it on my toast the next morning. I also think it could work nicely as a pie filling or atop a Brie wheel as an appetizer. The options are limitless if you get out of your own way.

Enjoy the recipe and let me know if you try it.

Ingredients
1 bag frozen blueberries (about 10 oz)
2/3 cup water
1/2 cup Swerve Confectioners sugar
1 tsp lemon zest (of 1-2 drops of lemon essential oil)
1 tsp Xanthan gum slurry*

Directions
  1. In a small sauce pan bring the water to a boil.
  2. Add frozen berries, sugar and lemon. 
  3. Add Xanthan gum slurry. Stir and simmer on low for 5-10 minutes until the the berries begin to pop and reduce down. Note: the longer you cook the compote the mushier the berries will become. If you want to retain the shape of the berries, reduce the cooking time to only as enough to combine the flavors.
  4. Remove from heat and let it cool on the counter for 15-20 minutes. 
  5. The mixture will continue to thicken as it cools.

Directions (Xanthan Slurry)
​Ok so to be honest I don't really measure this.
  1. In a small mixing ramekin add 1 tsbp of almond oil. Add 2 tsp of Xanthan gum and disolve into the oil to make a slurry.
  2. Use the desired amount of the slurry to thicken sauces
