Pressure Cooker Fresh Strawberry Compote

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

 

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.

    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!!

      Hi 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

    This 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.

    Reply
    • Jill says

      August 9, 2017 at 10:20 pm

      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

    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!
