Ingredients

2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled and halved
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup water

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water.
Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Reduce heat to low and cook for 8-10 minutes, until strawberries soften and release their juices.
Use a potato masher or fork to gently mash some of the strawberries to desired consistency.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Let cool slightly before serving. Compote will thicken as it cools.

Tips

For a smoother compote, blend with an immersion blender after cooking.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Serve warm or cold.
