Strawberry Compote Recipe
Breakfasts just got better with this delicious strawberry compote recipe. This compote basically makes itself while you get the pancakes and French toast ready.
Ingredients
- 1 lb strawberry fresh or frozen
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 - 3 tbsp orange juice or water
Recipe Instructions
- Rinse the strawberries and hull the fruit. Discard the tip and do this to all the berries. If using frozen, thaw in refrigerator or rinse under warm water. Pat dry. Cut large berries in half. Leave smaller berries whole.
- Put berries in a medium sauce pan. Add sugar and orange juice (or water). Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer until soft, berries begin to slightly fall apart and it thickens, about 5 - 10 minutes.
- Taste and add more sugar if necessary. The compote will thicken as it cools, but if it’s too thin, mix together 1 tbsp cornstarch and 1 tbsp water. Add to the sauce pan. (If using frozen berries, you might need a little more cornstarch).
- Allow to cool completely and transfer to a container. Store in refrigerator for up to two weeks.
