Recipe Notes
I mentioned that you can prepare your strawberries by hulling them and then chopping them up. To remove the hulls you can use a strawberry huller or a straw.
Since we are not using sugar we will use something else to help us get that compote texture.
We will use sugar free pectin instead of sugar in this recipe to help us get that syrup-like texture of compote. Please make sure that the pectin that you are using has no or little sugar added to it.
