Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
Hull the strawberries by removing the green tops and then slice them into quarters.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, lemon juice, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally until the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low and allow the strawberries to simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes, or until the fruit breaks down and the compote thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the compote to cool slightly before serving warm, or transfer to a jar and refrigerate for up to one week.
Enjoy the compote as a topping for pancakes, waffles, yogurt, or your favorite desserts.
