Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh strawberries
- t tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Wash strawberries and pat dry. Remove tops and chop, then add to a saucepan. Add the sugar and lemon juice and stir.
- Set over medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve sugar. Cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Mash the berries roughly with a potato masher or the back of a spoon. Continue to cook for 10-20 minutes, until the compote has thickened slightly. (It will continue to thicken as it cools, but should remain pourable.)
