Method

1. 1

   1. Rinse the berries and pick over them, discarding any stems or overripe pieces.

2. 2

   2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the berries, sugar, lemon juice, and corn syrup, but hold back the citrus zest and vanilla paste for now.

3. 3

   3. Set the pan over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar and keep the berries from scorching on the bottom.

4. 4

   4. Once boiling, reduce slightly to a steady simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring often, until the berries have broken down and the mixture has thickened into a glossy, syrupy glaze that coats the back of a spoon.

   6. Once cooled, pulse the glaze in a blender until smooth (or leave it slightly chunky for a more rustic compote-style topping, if preferred).

   7. Transfer to a jar or squeeze bottle and refrigerate; the glaze will continue to thicken slightly as it chills.
