I’ve been enjoying my Pressure Cooker Fresh Berry Compote so much with fresh homemade Greek Yogurt. My husband, on the other hand, won’t eat it because he is not fond of blueberries.
He, therefore, gets his own batch of Pressure Cooker Fresh Strawberry Compote, just for himself.
Rather than standing over a stove and watching to make sure the fruit comes out just right, it’s really simple to make in the Pressure Cooker.
Cast of Ingredients for Pressure Cooker Strawberry Compote
Three ingredients. You certainly can flavor this up with a vanilla bean, ginger, oh, ginger would be delicious.
What are the Ingredients for Strawberry Compote?
- Strawberries
- Sugar
- Fresh Orange or True Orange Crystallized
How about some a drop of chocolate extract?
True Orange Ginger? Yum,
Since making my own Instant Pot Greek Yogurt, I’ve been making Pressure Cooker Fresh Strawberry Compote about once every two weeks.
My husband eats yogurt every day and adds a couple of Tablespoon of compote to the bottom of a Mason Jar and then fills the jar with yogurt.
This, coming from a guy who would not taste Greek Yogurt until I made it myself!
Strawberries and Sugar
Because we make our own strawberry ice cream, I learned a little trick a long time ago. Add the sugar to the fruit. Mix it in a bit
There will be lots of liquid that will be released from the Strawberries.
There is no need to add additional liquid to the Pressure Cooker cooking pot.
Sliced Strawberries in the Pressure Cooker
You can see how much juice the strawberries are already releasing.
1/4 cup of Strawberry Juice
Look how much liquid is now in the cooking pot! No water need; all fruit.
Add a little squeeze of orange juice and you are ready to cook.
Sweet Strawberry Compote
It’s very fresh and summery.
You can put this compote on everything!
What do you eat with Strawberry Compote?
- French Toast
- Ice Cream
- Pressure Cooker Steel Cut Oats
- Yogurt
- Pancakes
- Blintz Souffle
This compote is wonderful over my Pressure Cooker New York Cheesecake.

Cheesecake, uuuuuum, Cheesecake. This compote makes a great filling for my Red, White and Blue Cheesecake Singles.
These little Kerr Half Pint (8 oz) Mason Jars come in so handy to save and then serve the compote.

January 30, 2019 at 1:55 pmHi Jill!
This recipe sounds amazing! My question is: Does it stick to the bottom of your pan since you aren’t adding normally 1 cup of water to the pot for it to pressure cook? I make you YOGURT all the time! WE LOVE IT!! Thanks Jill for all your recipes for IP and air fryers!!
Marissa says
September 25, 2018 at 4:55 amIs there an alternative to sugar that can be used? Also, can this be preserved with water bath canning methods? Thanks!

May 28, 2018 at 4:13 pmI did not find the strawberries thickened up enough. The compot was still rather runny after cooling down.
Jill says
June 24, 2018 at 9:55 pmHi Christine. Sounds like it came out perfect. Enjoy. Jill
Sheila says
May 28, 2018 at 11:17 amHow long does this last? Can I make it two weeks I. Advance of using?
Ashley says
May 18, 2018 at 9:14 amHello. I saw under extras you listed vanilla bean and ginger. How much of each and when did you add those? Also, is the 1 oz of orange juice fresh squeezed from the orange correct? Thank you! I can’t wait to try this.
Jill says
May 18, 2018 at 2:35 pmHi Ashley. The extras would be added at the same time as the berries. The amount is personal to your tastes. I would start with a very small amount and add more if needed. Fresh squeezed, is correct. However, if you have True Orange, you can use that instead. Jill
Jody says
March 4, 2018 at 6:26 pmIf I substitute stevia for sugar will I then need extra liquid?
Cindi Hepner says
February 28, 2018 at 11:09 amCan you freeze this for use later or will it get watery?
Helga says
February 21, 2018 at 11:08 amIf using frozen berries, should some of the juice be drained off first?
Theresa says
February 13, 2018 at 11:28 amShould it be added in about the need to thicken with cornstarch and the amount to add
Theresa says
February 13, 2018 at 5:50 amCan this be made with a sugar substitute
Haley says
January 3, 2018 at 10:43 amIs there a reason you use fresh orange juice? Is the orange juice discernable in the taste?
Jackie says
December 21, 2017 at 9:02 pmCan you make fruit compote with frozen berries?
Deb says
October 14, 2017 at 5:53 amStrawberry Compote looks delicious. I am a diabetic and wondering if you you use sugar substitute for the regular sugar your Strawberry compote recipe?
Mary Broomes says
September 29, 2017 at 7:31 amThis is my ‘go to’ addition for my yogurt. I’ve been having to use frozen strawberries lately but I just let them thaw a bit first before I add the sugar. I alternate between this and blueberry compote. Just a spoonful in the bottom of the jar of yogurt is plenty of sweetener for my taste.
