There are so many different ways how you can top your sweet breakfast or dessert. There is chocolate or caramel sauce, fruits of course, clotted cream, powdered sugar and the most beloved blueberry sauce, stew, compote or whatever you like to call the violet blue goodness 😉 .

But how many of you know how to cook a good homemade strawberry compote/stew/sauce? And most important cook it the healthy way?

This healthy recipe is the ideal summer fruit sauce for almost everything and its so easy to do. In less than 10 minutes your strawberry compote is ready.

Nothing is easier than cooking your own strawberry compote

Ok! Lets get started. First I stem the strawberries and cut them into thin slices. I put the strawberry slices, coconut sugar and water in a medium size pan and bring everything to a boil on medium high heat. I boil my compote for about 5 minutes not longer. Otherwise the strawberry slices will be a muss. During those five minutes of boiling I mix the cornstarch and the tablespoon of water. I stir the cornstarch water mix really well so that the cornstarch is dissolved.

After the short boiling time I pour the cornstarch-water mix into the pan and stir constantly until the sauce has thickened. The sauce is thickening when it boils once again.

When the liquid has thickened the compote is ready!
