Equipment

  • stock pot

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs strawberries
  • 1/2 lemon
  • 2 tbsp sugar (optional) Maple Syrup, Honey or alternative sweeteners are all great substitutes

Instructions

  • Wash, core, and cut up the strawberries.
  • Place strawberries, sugar, and juice from the lemon in a large stock pot and simmer on low for 90 minutes.
  • Let cool and pour into jars.

Notes

I helped break down the strawberries with a potato masher or fork, but it's not necessary. 
 
The longer you reduce the liquid the sweeter and thicker the compote gets.
