Add sensitive berries later
Currants and cherries are allowed to cook briefly, while raspberries decompose quickly. Gently lift soft fruits under the hot grits only after binding.

Kitchen know-how
Tips for Red berry compote with vanilla sauce
Insert starch without clumps
Mix the starch with cold cherry juice, pour into the boiling liquid and boil once while stirring. Only then does it develop full binding power.
Temperate egg yolks for vanilla sauce
Mix some hot vanilla milk slowly into the egg yolk and put the mixture back into the pot. Gently heat binds the sauce without causing scrambled eggs.
Variations
How to adapt this recipe
Heat frozen berries directly with juice and sugar and take the additional liquid into account when binding. Add raspberries as far as possible only at the end.
Use only sour cherries and season the juice with some vanilla and lemon abrass. The amount of starch remains the same if the total amount of liquid is produced.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ about Red berry compote with vanilla sauce
Traditionally, sour cherries, red and black currants, raspberries and strawberries fit. The mixture can be adjusted according to season and desired acidity.
Stir some cherry juice under the still warm grit. If the grit is cold, work the juice carefully so that the fruits are not completely crushed.
Place the clasp film directly on the surface of the cooled sauce or stir it regularly during cooling. Thus, no dry layer can be formed.
Cool both separately in closed vessels. The fruit grit lasts about three days, the egg yolk vanilla sauce should be consumed within two days.
