Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 60 ml Water
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly, remove the stems, and cut them into halves or quarters if they’re large.
In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, water, honey or maple syrup, and lemon juice.
Place the pan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries start to release their juices and soften, about 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water until fully dissolved to create a slurry.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan and stir well to incorporate.
Cook the mixture for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove from heat and let the compote cool slightly. It will thicken further as it cools.
Serve warm or chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
