Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon stevia or monk fruit sweetener (optional)
Instructions
1. Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under cold water and remove the stems.
2. Slice the strawberries into quarters for faster cooking.
3. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the strawberries, lemon juice, and water.
4. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
5. Continue cooking for about 10-15 minutes, mashing the strawberries gently with the back of a spoon or a potato masher to create a chunky consistency. Lower the heat if needed to avoid burning.
6. Taste the compote. If you'd like it sweeter, stir in the optional stevia or monk fruit sweetener at this point, mixing well to ensure it dissolves.
7. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the compote cool to room temperature. It will thicken slightly as it cools.
8. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
