Strawberry compote
People often ask me for my strawberry jam recipe, but despite all my attempts, I’ve never managed to make one that was up to my high standards, or, more importantly, better than my strawberry compote.
Our grandmothers’ traditional jam recipes are usually crammed with sugar, and I’ve always found them sickeningly sweet. .
This compote is delicious on a slice of bread, in a smoothie, or on a vanilla cupcake with chocolate sauce—especially at this time of year.
