Ingredients
- 1 cup diced strawberries (approx. 6 large strawberries)
- 1 cup diced rhubarb
- 1 cup diced apples (approx. 1 medium apple)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- *If using all fresh fruit add ¼ cup water
Instructions
- Wash and dice strawberries, rhubarb, and apples. Note: if using frozen strawberries or rhubarb you do not need to chop them further.
- Place all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, and bring to a boil. This will take 5-10 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook down until the sauce has thickened, stirring frequently, approximately 10 additional minutes.
- Remove from the heat, and if a smoother consistency is desired, mash fruit with a potato masher or fork. If additional sweetness is desired, add more sugar 1 teaspoon at a time until it meets your taste.
- Let compote cool at least 5 minutes prior to serving. If putting on cold items (like yogurt or ice cream) cool completely before serving.
- Store cooled compote in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to a week.
