I’m called this low carb strawberry compote but really it is a sugar-free recipe. Just like the sugar free blueberry compote sauce but made with strawberries instead.
Like the blueberry compote, this strawberry version is very easy to make. All it took to do was take a cup of frozen strawberries and saute them in a pan with butter. Then add monk fruit sweetener, vanilla extract and lemon juice and, voila, compote. It’s perfect on keto egg loaf that I turn into French toast. Perfect breakfast or snack!
Ingredients for Strawberry Compote
- 1 cup strawberries fresh or frozen
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup monkfruit sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- salt to taste
Compote versus fruit sauce
Compote is a simple fruit topping made by gently cooking fresh or frozen fruit with a bit of sweetener until the fruit softens and releases its natural juices. Unlike chunky fruit preserves or thick jams, compote stays saucy and is less sweet.
It is similar to fruit sauces and stewed fruit but usually chunkier and less sweet than jam or marmalade. It also resembles fruit chutneys but without the tangy spices or vinegar.
Notes
Pour it over your toasted egg loaf slices, French toast or pancakes.
