Ingredients

Berry compote:

1½ cup mixed berries such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries
1 tablespoon maple syrup or another sweetener of your choice
Juice of ½ a lemon

Parfaits:

Your favorite yogurt plain, vanilla, or flavored
Granola of your choice

Instructions

Add the berries and lemon juice to a small saucepan and set over medium heat. Cook for three to four minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries begin to release their juices.
Once the mixture starts to bubble, lower the heat slightly and let it simmer for another two to three minutes. Use a spoon or fork to gently press the berries and help them break down a bit. You want them soft and juicy, but not completely mashed.
Stir in the maple syrup and adjust to taste, adding more syrup or lemon juice if needed. Remove from the heat and allow the compote to cool completely before assembling the parfaits.
To assemble, spoon a layer of yogurt into the bottom of a glass or jar. Add a spoonful of the cooled berry compote, followed by a layer of granola. Repeat the layers until the glass is full. Serve immediately or store in the fridge until ready to enjoy.
