Categories     Breakfast     Brunch     Jam / Jelly

Time 15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound strawberries
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons orange juice or water
Optional: cornstarch (as needed)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Rinse the strawberries , pat them dry, and then hull the fruit . To do this, insert a knife at an angle under the leaf cap and then twist to cut out the leaves and white core underneath. Discard the tip and repeat the process with all the berries. Cut very large berries in half or quarters; leave smaller berries whole.
  • Place the berries in a saucepan. Add the sugar and juice or water. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the strawberries are all soft and just starting to fall apart and the liquid thickens, between 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Taste, and add more sugar if necessary. The compote will thicken a little while it cools off, but if you think it's too thin, mix 1 tablespoon of water with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and add it to the saucepan. If using frozen fruit, you might need a little more cornstarch. Stir well and remove from heat.
  • Let the compote cool off completely. Transfer to a clean pint jar and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 Bartlett or Anjou pears, peeled and cored
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup brandy

Steps:

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to prevent the fruit from sticking and scorching.
  • Stir the compote frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Add a splash of lemon juice or a pinch of citric acid to brighten the flavors of the fruit.
  • For a thicker compote, cook it for a longer period of time, stirring frequently.
  • For a sweeter compote, add more sugar to taste.
  • Serve the compote warm or cold, depending on your preference.
