Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 60 ml Water
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
Directions
Step 1
Wash the strawberries thoroughly, remove the stems, and cut them into halves or quarters if they’re large.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, water, honey or maple syrup, and lemon juice.
Step 3
Place the pan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries start to release their juices and soften, about 10 minutes.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water until fully dissolved to create a slurry.
Step 5
Add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan and stir well to incorporate.
Step 6
Cook the mixture for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 7
Remove from heat and let the compote cool slightly. It will thicken further as it cools.
Step 8
Serve warm or chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
