Description

This simple strawberry compote recipe has the consistency of a chunky fruit syrup and will liven up any yogurt, oatmeal, scone, or ice cream.

Ingredients

4 cups strawberries, chopped
1/2 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1/8 teaspoon salt

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.
