Description

A delightful strawberry compote that captures the essence of summer, perfect for topping desserts and breakfast dishes.


Ingredients

  • Fresh strawberries or frozen strawberries
  • Sugar (to taste)
  • Lemon juice (optional)


Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries and sugar over medium heat.
  2. Cook until strawberries release their juices, stirring occasionally.
  3. Once bubbling, reduce heat and let cook for about 10-15 minutes until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.
  4. If desired, stir in a little lemon juice for brightness.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy over ice cream, pancakes, or yogurt.

Notes

Taste and adjust the sugar based on the ripeness of strawberries. For a thicker compote, cook longer; for chunkier texture, reduce cooking time.
