Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams strawberries
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons tequila
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 3 tablespoons water
Instructions
1. Rinse the strawberries thoroughly, hull them, and cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
2. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the strawberries, granulated sugar, lime juice, tequila, lime zest, and water.
3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture gently to coat the strawberries evenly with sugar.
4. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for approximately 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. The strawberries should soften, and the liquid will become syrupy.
5. Remove the pan from heat and allow the compote to cool slightly. The compote will thicken further as it cools.
6. Transfer the compote to a serving bowl or an airtight container. Serve warm, chilled, or at room temperature as desired.
7. Enjoy your Tequila Lime Strawberry Compote on pancakes, waffles, yogurt, or desserts!
