Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh strawberries
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon stevia or monk fruit sweetener (optional)

Directions

Step 1

1. Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under cold water and remove the stems.

Step 2

2. Slice the strawberries into quarters for faster cooking.

Step 3

3. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the strawberries, lemon juice, and water.

Step 4

4. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

5. Continue cooking for about 10-15 minutes, mashing the strawberries gently with the back of a spoon or a potato masher to create a chunky consistency. Lower the heat if needed to avoid burning.

Step 6

6. Taste the compote. If you'd like it sweeter, stir in the optional stevia or monk fruit sweetener at this point, mixing well to ensure it dissolves.

Step 7

7. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the compote cool to room temperature. It will thicken slightly as it cools.

Step 8

8. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
