FOR ONE PERSON
——————————————————————————————————————————————————
INGREDIENTS
- 500 grams strawberries , cleaned and halved
- ⅓ 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.
