01 - 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

# How To Make:

01 - In a small saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries soften and release their juices for approximately 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let cool slightly.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like a fancy brunch but takes less time than you'd spend scrolling your phone.
  • The warm-tart-sweet balance hits different when you've made it yourself, not buying some jar at the store.
02 -
  • Don't skip the lemon juice thinking it won't matter, because it absolutely will. The acid is what prevents the whole thing from tasting like sweet mush.
  • If you make the compote ahead, it actually tastes better after sitting in the fridge for a few hours as the flavors meld together more fully.
03 -
  • Taste your compote before serving and add a touch more honey or lemon depending on your berries, because natural fruit varies wildly in sweetness and acidity.
  • Toast your nuts in a dry pan for a minute right before assembling if you want them to taste richer and more intentional than they would straight from the jar.
