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.

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.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Cornstarch Ratio Precision 🎯
Use 1 tablespoon of cornstarch per 1 cup of fruit to achieve the perfect gel-like compote consistency that won't be too runny or overly thick when layered with yogurt.
Cool Completely Before Layering ❄️
Allow your fruit compote to cool to room temperature or refrigerate for at least 2 hours before spooning into yogurt cups to prevent the yogurt from separating or becoming watery.
Freeze for Layering Success 🧊
Add a thin layer of compote to the bottom of cups and freeze for 30 minutes before adding yogurt on top, creating distinct layers that won't blend together during storage.
Maple Syrup Timing Matters 🍯
Add maple syrup at the very end of cooking your compote rather than at the beginning to preserve its delicate flavor profile and prevent it from breaking down during the heating process.
Mix Frozen and Fresh Fruit 🫐
Combine frozen and fresh fruit together—frozen fruit releases more liquid and creates a better compote base, while fresh fruit adds bright flavor and texture contrast to your finished yogurt cups.
