Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons Powdered erythritol (or your preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Rinse the fresh strawberries thoroughly under cold water and remove the stems. Slice the strawberries into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, powdered erythritol, lemon juice, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. As the strawberries begin to soften (about 5 minutes), mash some of them with the back of a spoon or a potato masher to achieve your desired consistency.
Continue to cook the compote for an additional 5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. The mixture will thicken more as it cools.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract for added depth of flavor.
Allow the compote to cool for a few minutes before transferring it to a clean jar or airtight container.
Store the strawberry compote in the refrigerator for up to one week and use it as a topping for your favorite low-carb dishes like pancakes, yogurt, ice cream, or waffles.
