Simple, fresh, fruity, and chunky describes this fresh strawberry compote perfectly. Lovely to spoon over ice cream, French toast, angel food cake, puddings and custards. A compote is a chunky fruit sauce that has been just lightly cooked to maintain most of the whole fruit pieces. In this recipe I used a pint of beautifully fresh strawberries that are first rinsed, tops removed, then cut into quarters. Cook one cup with a bit of sugar and lemon juice, then add another cup of strawberries at the end. Done!
