Homemade Raspberry Compote

I had some raspberries laying around and thought they would be excellent on pancakes, so I decided to try out a homemade raspberry "compote". It was so easy, and SO good! I'll share the recipe so you can try it too...it works with any berries. I've done both raspberry and strawberry.
Mash enough berries to make 3/4 - 1 cup.
Mix together in saucepan: 3/4 c sugar and 2 1/2 Tbsp corn starch
Slowly stir in 1/3 - 1/2 c water and mashed berries
Heat on stove over medium, stirring constantly, untilthe mixture boils and thickens. Continue boiling for one minute and remove from heat. Allow to cool slightly.
