This is a great recipe to make the most of summer berries. This compote can serve as a sauce with sorbets, a syrup for cakes, or as my family loves it, as a topping to vanilla ice cream. This beats any store bought topping.
You can use frozen raspberries if they are hard to find or are too expensive.
Feel free to substitute lemon for the lime.
