Ingredients

  • ¼ cup sliced almonds
  • 8 oz. fresh strawberries, hulled and halved (1½ cups)

I’ve made it! Super easy and my teenage grandsons loved it! I didn’t have sliced almonds on hand, so I used walnut pieces. I did opt for the maple syrup. I also added a sprinkle of cinnamon to the compote plus an additional apple and a generous handful of blueberries…there was still plenty of “sauce” in the compote. Will definitely make again.

The stars are meant to indicate the flavour and texture profiles, so that it can help viewers decide whether or not they want to try the recipe. Giving a rating simply because of its contents and/or how it visually presents without even making or tasting the end result, is a moot point and a waste of time. Now, go make it and give a proper review 🙂
