Step-by-Step Instructions for Strawberry Compote
  1. Begin by preparing your ingredients. If using frozen strawberries, allow them to thaw slightly before use. Fresh strawberries should be hulled and chopped into quarters.
  2. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, lemon juice, maple syrup, and optional vanilla extract. Stir gently to mix evenly.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally and let it cook for 15-18 minutes.
  4. Once thickened to your liking, remove from heat and let cool for about 10 minutes before transferring to an airtight container.
