Blackberry Compote with Griddled Brioche

Don’t let the embers die without having a quick sweet fix. This recipe is easy to prepare, looks pretty and tastes fabulous.

Preparation time:
15 minutes
Cooking time:
15 minutes
Total time:
30 minutes 30 minutes
Serves:
 8

Ingredients

  • 750g blackberries
  • 4 tbsp crème de cassis liqueur
  • 75g golden caster sugar
  • 1 vanilla pod, split
  • 8 slices from a butter brioche loaf, sliced
  • ½ x 200ml tub crème fraîche

Method

  1. Cut 2 squares of thick foil, about 40cm x 40cm. Pile the blackberries on to 1 square. Bend the sides up slightly, drizzle with the cassis and sprinkle with the golden caster sugar. Add the split vanilla pod and top with the second foil square. Fold in the edges to create a loosely sealed bag.
  2. Place the foil parcel on to the barbecue grill for about 15 minutes, or until the parcel puffs up (or cook in an oven preheated to 200°C, gas mark 6 for 15-20 minutes). Meanwhile, put the brioche slices on the barbecue for 1 minute on each side until toasted and lightly griddled.
  3. Serve the blackberries on the toasted brioche and top with crème fraîche.

Cook's tips

Try using other combinations of berries and liqueurs, such as strawberries and Cointreau or peaches and apricot brandy.

Doesn't exactly look like the Waitrose version, but just as tasty I'm sure!! Sadly we haven't had decent weather for a barbecue so I prepared this on a griddle pan instead.
