Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, sugar, balsamic vinegar, and salt. Stir gently to ensure the strawberries are evenly coated. Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes, allowing the strawberries to macerate and release their natural juices. (Estimated time: 10 minutes)

02

Step

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the strawberries have softened and the compote has thickened to your desired consistency. This should take approximately 20 minutes. (Estimated time: 20 minutes)

03

Step

Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the compote to cool slightly. The compote will continue to thicken as it cools. Serve warm or chilled over your favorite dishes. Enjoy! (Estimated time: 15 minutes)

For a smoother compote, gently mash the strawberries with a fork or potato masher during the simmering process.
Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, depending on the sweetness of the strawberries.
Store the cooled compote in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
