Gather Ingredients

For this strawberry sauce you will need fresh strawberries, white granulated sugar, and lemon juice.

1

Prepare the Strawberries

Prepare the strawberries by cutting off the stems and then slicing so that you will have smaller pieces of fruit in your compote.

2

Add to a Saucepan

Add the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice to a medium saucepan and heat over medium-high heat until it begins to boil, stirring often.

3

Boil the Strawberries

Once boiling, turn the heat down and let the strawberry mixture simmer for 20-25 minutes until the strawberries begin to break down and the sauce thickens. Continue to stir occasionally as it simmers.

4

Allow Sauce to Cool

Remove from heat and allow the sauce to cool to room temperature. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.

5

Serve with Dessert

Serve this strawberry compote sauce over your favorite desserts like cheesecake, cake, and a bowl of vanilla ice cream.
