I love the freshness and creaminess of oats left to soak overnight with a little bit of citrus and fruit. It is a great start to the day, whatever you have going on later. Blackberries are, for me, a very nostalgic taste – I used to pick them by the basketful as a child, in the bushes behind the house I grew up in, adjacent to the underground tracks. I love that you never know how sharp or sweet the taste will be. They make a classic combination with the fresh taste of apples in this compote, with just a little sweetness added. I return to this Bircher time and time again.
