Strawberry Compote (3 ingredients)
Serving size 12, cook time: 15 minutes
INGREDIENTS
- 1 lb stemless strawberries fresh or frozen (clean fresh strawberries)
- 1/3- 1/2 cup granulated sugar(depending on sweetness preference)
- Juice from 1 lemon
INSTRUCTIONS
- Simmer all the ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat until they are soft, about 8-10 minutes. I use a potato masher to mash up the strawberries halfway through. If you like a more textured sauce you can leave it as is! Let cool completely before refrigerating.
- Enjoy on your favorite dessert, brunch pastry or in a fancy cocktail
Note: The strawberry coulis will last in the fridge for 3-5 days in an airtight glass container or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
