Steps:
- To prepare the fruit: If you're using fresh strawberries or peaches, cut them into thin slices. If you're using small berries like blueberries or raspberries, you can use them whole. If you're using frozen fruit, no need to defrost or slice them before using.
- In a medium saucepan, combine your fruit of choice, sweetener of choice and dash of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. This will take about 5 minutes for fresh fruit or 10 minutes for frozen fruit.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium. If you're using chunky fruit or prefer a smoother consistency, mash the fruit with a potato masher or serving fork until it reaches your desired consistency. Continue simmering, stirring often, until the compote has condensed to about half of its original volume, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the compote from the heat. I'm generally satisfied with my compote at this point, but if the compote isn't sweet enough for your liking, you can stir in a more sweetener, to taste. If you'd like it to be more smooth, mash it some more.
- Let the compote cool for a few minutes before serving. Allow leftover compote to cool completely before covering and refrigerating for up to 10 days.

Steps:
- Combine the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries in a medium saucepan or pot. Add the sugar and lime juice. Toss to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.
- Once the berry mixture is boiling and the sugar has dissolved, turn the heat down to low (the lowest setting on your stovetop). Allow the berries to simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes, stirring often, until the fruit has softened quite a bit and the compote has reduced by about 1/2 half in volume.
- Remove from the heat. At this point, you can use the back of a fork or a potato masher to mash the fruit some more, if you like a smoother compote (I like to see chunks of fruit in mine). You can also carefully taste to adjust sweetness. I don't usually have a need for adding more sugar, but if you need to, you can sprinkle a little more cane sugar or drizzle some honey. Be sure to mix well.
- Let the berry compote cool for about 15 to 30 minutes before serving. It will thicken some more.
- See storage instructions below.
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Add in the sugar and lime juice. Toss to coat the fruit with the sugar and lime juice.
- Transfer the fruit mixture to a large baking dish or a heavy, rimmed sheet pan making sure to spread the fruit well in a single layer.
- Roast in the heated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, checking every 10 to 15 minutes until the berries have fully collapsed and released some juices. You may like to pull the baking dish out occasionally to give the fruit a stir.
- Let the roasted berries cool for about 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
- See storage instructions.
