Very low in calories and fat, with natural fruit sugars and modest vitamin C from strawberries and lemon.

Vitamin C. Strawberries and lemon both contribute vitamin C, supporting normal immune function and collagen formation.

Low energy density. This compote is light and fruit-based, making it suitable for lower-calorie desserts or toppings.

Naturally occurring sugars. The sweetness comes entirely from fruit, with no added sugar in the ingredient list.

Hull the strawberries and cut any large ones in half.
Put the strawberries and lemon juice into a small saucepan.
Cook over a low heat for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit softens and releases its juices.
Mash lightly with a spoon for a chunky texture, then cool slightly before serving.
