Pressure Cooker Fresh Strawberry Compote is a sweet and refreshing summer treat. A minute in the Pressure Cooker is all it takes!
Pressure Cooker Fresh Strawberry Compote
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. So, 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.
Fresh Strawberries, Sugar and Fresh Orange Juice
Three ingredients. You certainly can flavor this up with a vanilla bean, ginger, oh, ginger would be delicious. How about some a drop of chocolate extract?
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!
French Toast
Ice Cream
Oatmeal
Yogurt
Pancakes
This compote is wonderful over my Pressure Cooker New York Cheesecake.
Pressure Cooker Strawberry Compote
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.

Do you think this would work for figs, blackberries, etc without added liquid?
Hi Renee~
It sure would work. Blackberries give off liquid. Thank you for visiting.
Jill
What about figs? I want to use fresh figs. Do I just not put in the orange juice?
Figs sound wonderful. I will definitely have to make a fig compote. I will be making a FROG compote as well. Jill
Hi Jill! Could this be made from frozen thawed strawberries?
Hi Laurie~
Frozen strawberries would work. Thanks for visiting!
Jill
Does this need to be stored in the fridge?
How long is it good for?
Thank you!
Hi Meredith~
This is good for a couple of weeks. You can always freeze some. 🙂
Jill
Awesome, thank you! Can’t wait to make some! 🙂
Hi Jill. Do you think this would work with granny smith apples?
Hi Pamela~
I cannot think of any reason that it would not work. I’d probably peel the apples first. Silly girl. 😉
Jill
Put apples in the pot, cored with skins…best applesauce ever! No sugar needed with sweet apples.
If you dont have an orange is there something else you can use?
Hi Dana~
Skip the orange, no worries! Or add a small squeeze of lemon.
Jill
Hmmm…I’m thinking peaches would be divine, too!
Hi Sherri~
Peaches are divine and I am about to put up a recipe for my Peach Cobbler Compote.
Jill
Oh boy! I can’t wait 🙂
How about one for cherries???
Would using reduced fat cream cheese have an adverse impact on the cheesecake (i.e., would it still set up okay)?
Sheri~
It should still set up fine.
Jill
I just discovered strawberry compote and made my easy version using only strawberries and some spices. So yumms! I should put some ginger in next time like what you did. I think they will taste so yummy on waffles and maybe even on banana nice cream!!
If you use frozen strawberries, do you need to thaw first, or can they just be put in the instant pot.
Kimberley, frozen is fine.
Jill
I made this last night and put it in my oatmeal this morning. Delicious! Only thing is that it turned out super runny. I’m sure this is due to the fast that I was trying to make two things at once and my timing was way off. The strawberries ended up sitting in the sugar for far longer than ten minutes. Would you concur? I’ll definitely be making this again though with other fruits as well!
I made this today and it was so good! Have you ever tried using bananas? My daughter loves strawberry and banana yogurt. And now we make our own, I don’t know how to get that flavor.
Hi Melissa~
Bananas would be delicious with this recipe. I say go for it.
Jill
Could I use vanilla extract in place of vanilla bean? What’s the recommended amount?
Hi Diane~
Absolutely, or you can leave it out altogether. Have fun cooking!
Jill
Can I make Orange Compote?
Silly question, I know, but I have bags and bags and bags or oranges! I’ll take any orange recipe you have, haha!
Vero, how about orange curd or marmalade?
Jill
You could blend up the oranges first as if you were going to make orange jam
We don’t do refined sugar. Could I use honey or maple syrup?
Shauna, yes or no sugar works. And I was a sugaraholic.
To make strawberry banana, how much banana would you add to this recipe? Does it need extra liquid with the bananas added? Thanks!
HI Kristy~
Time would be the same. No extra liquid needed. Jill
Love your Instant Pot pressure cooker recipes. I am just getting ready to start my yogurt & then make some of the fruit compotes that you have given. Do you know if they will still work using frozen fruit?
Would stevia work instead of sugar?
I just sent a comment asking if stevia would work, but I meant to say Truvia.
Truvia is the same a stevia (No idea if it would work or not though, given is over a month I hope you got your answer.
I just made this to top our cheesecake for Easter. My first time making a compote, not sure if I did it right as the strawberries are now a brownish color and not as vibrant as yours. Any tips? I have yet to taste it as it is cooling right now!
I have a ton of strawberries and new to the IP. Would it still work if I doubled the recipe or should I just plan on making several batches?
Hi Lori~
You can cook as many strawberries as will fit.
Jill
Hey great post! I hope it’s ok that I shared it on my FB, if not,
no issues just let me know and I’ll delete it.
Either way keep up the great work.
It is fine to share my links on your FB page. Thanks so much! Jill
Hi Jill, this strawberry compote sounds amazing! My husband adores strawberry-rhubarb ANYTHING! Do you have a recipe for strawberry-rhubarb compote?
Hi Kathy. Just add the rhubarb and add only 1 more minute to the cook time. Jill
Is there a way to thicken it up? I made the Berries Compote this weekend and it was more liquid than fruit. Or maybe more berries?
Hi Robbin. Personally, I prefer the liquid. Some people do add a touch of cornstarch to thicken the liquid. You can always add more berries and less of the orange juice. It sounds like you had some really good berries though, if they gave up that much juice. Jill
Can this be made with frozen strawberries? What changes are needed?
How long would this keep in the fridge?
