Ingredients

Scale
- 500 grams strawberries (cleaned and halved)
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice (half fresh lemon)
Instructions
- Rinse your strawberries, drain off any excess water and start cleaning them. Remove the end bit and cut in half.
- Cut the berries in half but leave the smaller ones whole for a more bulky texture.
- Add the berries into a saucepan. Add the sugar and lemon juice. Bring it to a boil and then lower the heat to a simmer. The strawberries will start to soften and the liquid thicken, about 10 minutes.
- Taste and adjust the taste. If it needs more sugar add by the tablespoon. If your compote is too thin you will need to make a slurry (1 tbsp water + 1 tbsp Maizena). Continue simmering until your preferred consistency.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Remember the strawberry compote will thicken as it stands.
