Strawberry Compote with Rose, Honey, and Mint
Report
This strawberry compote boasts a Mediterranean flair with its delicate hints of honey, rose water, and fresh mint. Roasting the strawberries in the oven draws out their deeply sweet and tart flavors, and gives the compote a slightly caramelized quality. It's finished with a rustic texture that makes the perfect topping for creamy yogurt, vanilla ice cream, Strawberry Frozen Yogurt, or pancakes. Or, serve as a complement to salty cheeses in a classic charcuterie board.

Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, cleaned and dried
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon food-grade rose water
- 2 1/2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 teaspoon minced mint leaves
- Fresh mint leaves and lemon zest, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Get ready: Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Prep the strawberries: Hull the strawberries (slice off their stems and any bright white part at the top). Slice them in half and place in a large mixing bowl. Toss in the vanilla, rose water, honey, lemon zest, and mint.
- Roast: Evenly distribute the strawberry mixture onto a baking pan with 1-inch sides. Roast for 35 minutes, mixing halfway through.
- Mash: Carefully scrape the roast strawberries into a large mixing bowl. Mash rustically with a fork until the juices release but there are still chunks of strawberry remaining.
- Serve: Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve spooned over ice cream, pancakes, Greek yogurt, or alongside a charcuterie board. Optionally, garnish with lemon zest and mint.
Notes
- High-quality summer strawberries often come caked in dirt. To wash them thoroughly, let them soak in a bowl of cold water as you remove their tops.
- To make ahead or store leftovers, let the mixture cool completely. Place in an air-tight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When ready to use, let the mixture come to room temperature or gently warm it in a pan on low heat.
