With its honey, rosewater, and mint, this strawberry compote will transport you to the Mediterranean. Spread it on chocolate cake or yogurt for breakfast!
This isn't your ordinary strawberry compote. This roasted strawberry compote, inspired by Turkish dessert flavors, is delicious and surprising.
Instead of making a classic berry compote on the stovetop I roast the strawberry for a delicious depth of flavor. Rose water, along with mint and lemon, adds a refreshing summery taste. The floral notes in the strawberries are enhanced by the rose water. Guests will be left wondering how this compote is different.
Strawberry compote is a rustic texture that leaves some berries intact. It's delicious over creamy Greek yogurt, or Strawberry Frozen yoghurt. Use it as a topping for your morning pancakes, to accompany your afternoon cheeseboard or even as a dip with Simit or Barbari for a sweet and savory late-night treat. Don't waste a drop!

What Is Rose Water?
Rose water is a fragrant water that's made of rose petals. The rose water gives everything a floral touch, from cosmetics to desserts.
Rose water was popular during the Ottoman Empire. It was added to toiletries, cosmetics, naturopathic remedies, and cultural ceremonies. It's as plentiful in Turkey today as it was hundreds of years ago. It's in Turkish delight, baklava, and sherberts.
Rose petals are hand-picked and simmered in water at low temperatures to make rose water. The essence of rose is captured in the bottle by the steam collected.
What Is Compote?
A compote sauce is chunky. Compote can be made with many fruits. Fresh berry compote is the most popular. To make compote you simply simmer fruit with sugar or honey, until it becomes soft. You can then add herbs and citrus to give it a deeper flavor.
This recipe does not contain citrus juice because strawberries have a higher natural acidity. You can adjust the taste with a squeeze or two of lemon juice.
Compotes can be used to top desserts. They are also delicious with savory dishes like grilled cheese and roast lamb.
What is Strawberry Compote made of?
This compote has a few ingredients but its subtle complexity is beyond any other fruit topping. You'll need the following ingredients to make strawberry compote:
- Fresh Strawberries:Ripe, ripe strawberries at the height of the season is ideal. But don't fret if they aren't perfect. Roasting and aromatic ingredients will intensify and perfume even the least vibrant strawberries.
- Vanilla bean or extract: Both vanilla extract and vanilla bean work well to enhance flavor.
- Rose Water:Look out for rose water that is food grade. Cosmetic rose waters are often contaminated with additives which are not safe for consumption and have a strong smell. You can find rose water in the international aisle of your local grocery store or at our shop.
- Honey -High quality honey like our Greek Alfa honey clover or any other light-colored honey is best. The strawberries' sweetness is brought out by the milder flavor.
- Citrus and Herbs: Lime zest gives the compote a citrusy flavor. Strawberry and mint are the quintessential combination of sweet and refreshing.
Strawberry Compote
Strawberry Compote can be prepared quickly and easily, but still looks impressive due to its unique Mediterranean blend.
- Prepare:Pre-heat your oven to 350degF. Wash and completely dry 1 pound strawberries to prevent the honey mixture from being diluted. Once they are dry, cut off the tops of the strawberries and then half them.
- Coat strawberries: Add strawberries to a large bowl. Add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/4 tablespoon rose water, 2 1/2 spoons of honey, and 1/4 each teaspoon lemon zest and mint leaves. Mix until all the strawberries have been coated.
- Roasting the strawberries:Evenly spread the strawberry mixture onto a baking sheet with 1 inch sides. Roast for 35 minutes while mixing half way through. Transfer the roasted vegetables to a heatproof bowl. Scrape off any juices from the pan.
- Mash strawberries: Mash strawberry mixture rustically using a fork. Press the strawberries until juices are released but still some strawberry chunks remain.
- Enjoy:Let the dish cool for five to ten minutes before serving. Top with mint leaves or lemon zest, if you like.
What to serve with Strawberry Compote
Strawberry compote is great with sweet or savory dishes. The possibilities are endless! You can serve it over vanilla ice-cream or custard. It's also great over healthy breakfasts like Greek yogurt and blueberry muffins.
Making Ahead and Leftovers
Let the mixture cool down before storing it in an airtight container. You can store leftovers in the refrigerator for up 2 weeks, or freeze them for up 3 months.
Compote, unlike its cousin jam, does not use excessive sugar to preserve it. The fresh flavor of the strawberries is enhanced by the reduced sugar content. It's best to store it in the refrigerator, as it is not preserved.
Enjoy your strawberry compote cold or warm it gently in a saucepan on low heat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is oatmeal OK on a Mediterranean diet?

Oats are very popular in countries of the Mediterranean basin. Many consider them to be compatible with this type diet.
Is the Mediterranean diet mostly plant-based or is it?
Yes, the Mediterranean Diet is primarily a plant-based diet. The Mediterranean Diet is primarily plant-based. This includes fruits, vegetables and legumes as well as nuts and seeds. The traceability of red meat, poultry, fish and other animal protein sources around the Mediterranean Sea has meant that they are less common in modern diets. For those who choose to live a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle, these protein sources may be avoided. You can also find other dairy sources, like soy yogurt or tofu, that provide additional nutrition.
Rice in the Mediterranean diet?

What foods are not permitted on a Mediterranean-style diet?
The Mediterranean diet prohibits certain food groups including processed foods and added sugar. For the health benefits associated this dietary style, some foods shouldn't even be eaten. Even though these items can be part of a healthy eating plan, consistent consumption can negate the potential health benefits.
Whole-grain bread and starches, such as white bread, sugary cereals, and other highly processed baked goods, are forbidden on a Mediterranean eating plan. These items may be quickly absorbed by your body as sugars which can lead to weight gain. They are also lacking in vitamins and minerals, compared with whole grain options like millet or Quinoa.
Other sugars fall under this category too. Limit your intake of sweetened beverages, such as soda, tea with added sugars, or juices. These won't help you manage weight, or provide healthy nutrient profiles.
Red meats and processed meats are not recommended for Mediterranean-style meals. Red meats and processed meats possess high levels of saturated fat, which increases cholesterol levels, raising the risk for heart disease and other metabolic syndrome-related problems that could lead to more serious illnesses. Because nitrates are associated with cell damage responses in the cells, processed lunchmeat products can increase cancer risk. Dairy products should not also be consumed frequently as some cheeses contain significant amounts of saturatedfats. However, feta and skimmed milk are better options than heavy cream and creme fraiche alternatives.
According to nutrition professionals, fish should not exceed three times per weekly.
Is Banana allowed in the Mediterranean diet?
Yes, banana is allowed on the Mediterranean diet. Bananas are nutritious and low-calorie fruit that can provide beneficial dietary fiber, potassium, and vitamin B6. As a healthy side dish, it can be incorporated into meals by adding sliced or mashed bananas to porridge, smoothies, salads, or even sweet potatoes. For added protein, you can enjoy it as a snack with nuts butter like peanut or almond. To improve digestion and promote hunger when eating, you may want to pair bananas with nuts and seeds.
What is a typical Mediterranean Breakfast?
A Mediterranean breakfast would include a combination protein, healthy oil, and carbohydrates. The options include eggs in olive oil and roasted vegetables with a side salad, Greek yogurt with cheese, whole-grain Toast, or Quinoa porridge topped off with fresh fruits. Avocado toast with tomatoes and feta cheese is also an excellent option for breakfast. You can start your day with Mediterranean-inspired proteins like wild-caught fish, grassfed meat, organic eggs, and nuts. Choose nutritious carbohydrates such as whole grains like quinoa and oats; limit sugar by opting for fresh fruits instead of sweetened yogurts or cereals; add healthy fats to your meal such as avocado, extra virgin olive oil, olives, and coconut oil; and supplement your breakfast with some green tea for added antioxidants.
