Instructions
Prepare the compote
Place the fruit in a small sauce pan. Add the maple syrup, water, and cornstarch and stir until combined. Cook over medium heat until the fruit has softened slightly and the sauce has thickened, about 5-10 minutes. Cool completely.
16 ounces fresh or frozen fruit, 2 tablespoons maple syrup , 2 tablespoons water, 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Assemble the yogurt cups:
Place 2 tablespoons of the fruit compote in the bottom of each jar. Top with about 4 ounces of plain yogurt and place the lids on each one. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
32 ounces plain Greek
Notes
Pro tip: Use 6-ounce jars to leave plenty of room for stirring in granola or other toppings.
Plain Greek yogurt provides a thick, creamy texture, but regular or dairy-free yogurt may also be used.
Let the fruit compote cool completely before layering it with the yogurt.
Store fruit on the bottom yogurt covered in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days. Keep granola and other crunchy toppings separate until serving.
