Step 1

Fruit Prep: If using fresh strawberries, remove the top and slice in half. Slice into quarters if the strawberry is very large. Frozen strawberries do not need any preparation.

Step 2

Cook: Combine strawberries, sugar, lemon, lemon zest, and water in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Fresh strawberries will boil in about 5 minutes/frozen in about 10 minutes. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer. Using a masher or fork, mash the berries to the desired consistency. Continue simmering until the compote has condensed to about half the size. Stir often. This step typically takes between 5 - 10 minutes.

Step 3

Cool: Remove from heat and taste test. If you prefer a sweeter compote, add more sweetener in 1 tablespoon increments. The compote will thicken as it cools; however, if you prefer a much thicker sauce, mix one tablespoon of water and one tablespoon of cornstarch in a separate glass/bowl until smooth. Once smooth, add to the sauce. Keep doing this in increments until you have reached the desired thickness. If you prefer a smooth sauce, use a stick or traditional blender until smooth.
