Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold running water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Remove the green tops from the strawberries and slice them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water.
Place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat and stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
Let the mixture come to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
Cook the compote for about 10-15 minutes, or until the strawberries break down slightly and the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the compote to cool for a few minutes.
Transfer the strawberry compote to a clean jar or container and let it cool completely before storing in the refrigerator.
Serve the compote warm or chilled as a topping for your favorite dishes. Enjoy!
