FAQs – Strawberry Compote

Q: Can I use frozen strawberries to make compote?
A: Yes, frozen strawberries work just as well as fresh ones. There’s no need to thaw them—just cook a little longer to let the liquid reduce.

Q: How long does strawberry compote last?
A: Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. You can also freeze it for up to 2 months.

Q: Can I make it without sugar?
A: Absolutely. If your strawberries are very sweet, you can omit or reduce the sugar. You can also use natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or stevia.

Q: How can I thicken strawberry compote?
A: The compote naturally thickens as it reduces, but you can add a cornstarch slurry (1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water) for a thicker texture.

Q: Is compote the same as jam?
A: No. Compote is less sweet, chunkier, and not preserved like jam. It’s meant to be consumed fresh or within a few days.
