It is similar to strawberry jam or conserves in taste (less sweet/concentrated flavor), but resembles fruit punch in looks and consistency. It is very easy to adjust this recipe and scale it up/down. + +FYI, I suggest using organic strawberries for this (may be on the expensive side), it makes a world of difference in flavor. + + +- ⏲️ Prep time: ~20 min +- 🍳 Cook time: 5-10 min +- 🍽️ Servings: 16? (It depends) + +## Ingredients + +- Strawberries (two standard packs works best) +- Sugar + + +## Directions + +1. Get 3 bowls and a butter knife (if the butter knife has a point, that will work better) +2. Dump out both packs of strawberries into a sieve or bowl and wash them thoroughly. +3. Remove the stem and leaves/crown of the strawberry. The crown can be peeled by hand, then use the butter knife to cut out the stem. +4. Large strawberries can be cut in half. +5. Once all of the strawberries are clean, put them in a standard 4 quart (3.8 L) pot. Fill it with water to the brim. +6. Put the pot to boil. The strawberries will gradually lose their color, which is completely normal. +7. Once it boils, let it cook for 5 mins. +8. After five minutes are over, turn off the heat and incrementally add sugar to your preference. I suggest 1-1.5 cups (237 to 355 grams) of sugar for 4 quarts (3.8 L) of compote. Taste between helpings of sugar to make sure its not oversweetened. +9. Let the pot cool, then refrigerate. Serve chilled. \ No newline at end of file
