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-RASPBERRY HONEY SYRUP

Steps:

• Wash the berries and then puree them (add a little water if necessary) in a blender.
• Pour the puree into a large Dutch oven. Add the honey and sugar. Don't forget to rub the top, inside lip of the pot with butter to prevent boiling over.
• Slowly bring to a boil, stirring often until the sugar melts. Boil, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 216-218 degrees.
• Fill clean canning jars (I used six 12-ounce jars here). Leave ¼ inch headspace.
• Wipe the jar lips with a moist paper towel and fix the two-piece canning lids.
• Process in a water bath for 15 minutes.
• Remove from the water bath and let cool completely.
