How to make Strawberry Compote or Strawberry Sauce:

• First, wash and hull the fresh strawberries. Dice the berries into chunk size. The big ones I cut them into quarters and small ones in halves. Then, place them into a saucepan.
• Then, add sugar, a pinch of salt, orange juice, or water and place in the stove over medium-high and bring to a boil. Then using a potato masher or a fork, mash some of the berries to release some of their juices. This is optional but highly recommended:). Reduce the heat to low.
• Next, in a small container add cornstarch and water and whisk until the cornstarch has dissolved.
• Then, add the mixture to the strawberries and let it simmer until the strawberries are soft and the sauce starts to thickens (about 5 to 10 minutes).
• Place the pot on the counter and let the compote cool before transferring it to a mason jar or any glass container to store. Covered and refrigerate until you are ready to enjoy it!
