Strawberry Compote

The Wholesome Spoon

I love whipping up a compote when I have a bunch of fruit on hand that I need to use up or if I'm just looking for a really great sauce for my pancakes or French toast! This Strawberry Compote was so easy to make and so delicious! I made this for a pie and with the leftovers, it made the BEST pancake syrup! Very few ingredients are needed, and it can be stored in the freezer if you don't finish it within 1-2 weeks of making! That little bit of lemon juice in there really brought this compote to life!

Ingredients

1 ¾ Cups Fresh Strawberries chopped into large pieces
1 ¼ Cups Granulated Sugar
Juice from 1/2 a Lemon

Instructions

Heat the berries in a saucepan on medium heat and while they're cooking, smush them with a wooden spoon as you stir. I like to leave some big chunks of the fruit in there, which is typical for a compote!
Once the berries get to a gentle boil, stir in the sugar and the lemon juice, then simmer for about 5 minutes on medium-low, stirring occasionally.
Once the sauce appears jammy and sugar is dissolved, remove from heat.
Cool completely before moving to the refrigerator or enjoying on pancakes or whatever else you want to use it for! We had this on a Peanut Butter and Jelly Pie! Enjoy!
