Freezing

Berry compote dessert freezes beautifully! Allow the compote to cool completely, then transfer it into airtight freezer-safe containers or heavy-duty freezer bags, leaving a small headspace for expansion. To thaw, place the container in the refrigerator overnight or gently warm it on the stovetop over low heat. While the texture might soften slightly upon thawing, the flavor remains excellent for most applications.

Signs of Spoilage

• Foul or fermented odor.
• Visible mold growth (fuzzy or discolored patches).
• Slimy or unusually watery texture.
