Directions

  1. Combine chopped strawberries, sugar, balsamic vinegar, and salt in a saucepan, stir to coat evenly. Let sit until berries have released their juices, about 10 minutes.

  2. Bring to a light boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until strawberries are soft and compote has thickened, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, serve warm or cool. Compote will thicken further as it cools.

Recipe Note

This simple strawberry compote has the consistency of a chunky fruit syrup and will liven up yogurt, oatmeal, scones, and ice cream. It also makes the most delicious topping for crepes! The touch of balsamic gives it a pop of acidity and a deeper flavor. Feel free to mash the berries with a fork or potato masher for a smoother consistency. Refrigerate for up to 1 week.
