Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons Honey (optional for added sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
1. Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under cold water, then hull and chop them into small pieces.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, water, and lemon juice. If desired, stir in honey for added sweetness.
3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
4. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent sticking or burning and use a spoon to mash the strawberries slightly for a thicker texture.
5. Remove the saucepan from the heat when the compote reaches your desired consistency. It should be thick with soft strawberry pieces.
6. Allow the compote to cool to room temperature before transferring it to an airtight container.
7. Store the strawberry compote in the refrigerator for up to one week. Serve chilled or warmed, depending on your preference.
