Ingredients
- 400 grams Fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons Powdered erythritol (or your preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fresh strawberries thoroughly under cold water and remove the stems. Slice the strawberries into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, powdered erythritol, lemon juice, and water.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
Step 4
Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. As the strawberries begin to soften (about 5 minutes), mash some of them with the back of a spoon or a potato masher to achieve your desired consistency.
Step 5
Continue to cook the compote for an additional 5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. The mixture will thicken more as it cools.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract for added depth of flavor.
Step 7
Allow the compote to cool for a few minutes before transferring it to a clean jar or airtight container.
Step 8
Store the strawberry compote in the refrigerator for up to one week and use it as a topping for your favorite low-carb dishes like pancakes, yogurt, ice cream, or waffles.
