Strawberry Compote With Tequila And Lime Food

STRAWBERRY COMPOTE (3 INGREDIENTS!)

Steps:

• Place the strawberries, sugar (and lemon juice if using) in a medium sized saucepan set over medium heat.
• Stir the strawberries to coat them in sugar and gently mash the strawberries, just until they begin to release a bit of liquid.
• Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook the berries for 8-10 minutes, stirring often, or until the compote is your desired thickness.
• Allow the compote to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container.

STRAWBERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Combine chopped strawberries, sugar, balsamic vinegar, and salt in a saucepan; stir to coat evenly. Let sit until berries have released their juices, about 10 minutes.
• Bring to a light boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until strawberries are soft and compote has thickened, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly; serve warm or cool. Compote will thicken further as it cools.

Steps:

• Muddle the strawberries with the lemon slices, mint, and agave syrup in a large pitcher. Add the tequila and stir well. Pour over rocks glasses filled with crushed ice. Top each glass with club soda and garnish with mint leaves before serving.

STRAWBERRY COMPOTE WITH SUGARED DROP SCONES

Steps:

• Cut the strawberries in half or in quarters if large, and put in a pan with the sugar and lemon juice. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves, then bring to a simmer. Cover the pan and cook the strawberries for 3 mins or until dark red and syrupy. Cool, then add the balsamic vinegar, if using. The compote can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
• To make the drop scones, the best flavour and golden colour will come from cooking them in clarified butter. Melt the butter gently in a small pan, then pour the clear yellow layer into a jug. Discard the white solids.
• Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl, and stir in the sugar. Make a well in the middle, crack in the egg, then add the vanilla and a splash of milk. Whisk until thick and smooth, then whisk in the remaining milk. Put a few tbsp extra caster sugar in a shallow container, ready for sugaring the drop scones.
• Heat a non-stick frying pan, then add a splash of clarified butter and swirl it around. Spoon in 4 dessertspoons of the batter, spacing them well apart, to make drop scones about 7cm across. As soon as bubbles appear on the surface, flip the scones and cook until puffed in the middle. Keep warm while you cook another batch. Toss the scones in the caster sugar, then serve with strawberry compote and a scoop of ice cream.

• Simmer for 7-10 minutes or until rhubarb is tender. Remove from heat.
• Stir in strawberries.
• Transfer to a bowl and stir in mint.
• Chill until cold (at least 1 hour).
