Braised Mixed Berry Compote

Makes about 3 cups

• 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter

Instructions:

Melt butter in a skillet over moderate heat.  Stir in brown sugar, lemon juice and champagne until sugar is dissolved.  Add berries and cook, tossing gently (try to keep most of them from breaking up) until berries are warm and juices begin to be released (2 or 3 minutes.)
