Notes

Top Tips!

Use ripe strawberries - the sweeter and riper, the better the flavor. Don't overcook - simmer right until the fruit softens.

How to store strawberry compote.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

To save time, you can make the strawberry compote ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the fridge, up to 3 days prior.

Can I use frozen strawberries?

Absolutely! Just cook the compote a few extra minutes because there will be more liquid.

How can my kids help?

Have them mix all the ingredients in, and with supervision, stir the compote as it's cooking.
