Stir the strawberries to coat them in sugar evenly and gently mash the strawberries with a potato masher.
If you like the compote slightly chunky, with pieces of strawberries in it, you can skip mashing and just stir gently.
3 Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook the berries for 10 minutes, stirring continuously, or until the compote is your desired thickness.
4 Once the compote is of your desired consistency/thickness, let it cool down and then transfer to an airtight container.
Note
- You can opt for either fresh or frozen strawberries (No need to thaw the frozen ones)
- This strawberry compote can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
- Freezing the Compote: You can freeze this compote in an airtight container for 3 months and should thaw it before use.
- While thickening the strawberry compote do keep in mind that it thickens a bit more once it cools down like any other compote.
