Ingredients

1 Pound Fresh Strawberries
⅓ Cup Sugar
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice

Instructions

Prepare the strawberries by cutting off the stems and then slicing so that you will have smaller pieces of fruit in your compote.
Add the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice to a medium saucepan and heat over medium-high heat until it begins to boil, stirring often.
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.
Remove from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
