When growing up, my mom loved to serve us homemade berry compote as a part of our daily vitamin C intake. We didn’t have sugar-loaded cereals for breakfast; on the menu was oat porridge with berry compote and cultured yoghurt. My favourite was the blackcurrant compote and so here is my version.
In spring, rhubarb is the first edible plant that we can harvest in Iceland, so it is always really exciting to use. When not in season I use fruit such as apples or berries. When there is not much time in the morning, this nutritious porridge is an excellent breakfast because it’s quick.
Of all berries I love blackcurrants the most. They grow very easily in northern Europe and every year while I was growing up, I would pick them from late August until the beginning of September.
