Strawberry-Banana Compote image

Fruit and butter with a little bit of brown sugar. Heat until it smells magical. That's it. You can add bourbon as well, for a hit of smokiness (the alcohol will cook off) that pairs well with French-toast brunches. Or let the mixture cool, then store in the refrigerator, and combine it later with thick Greek yogurt. One note: If you don't like the color of the compote, for the heating will pull some from the fruit, add a spoonful of strawberry preserves as a kind of blusher.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 ripe organic bananas, sliced into coins
1 cup ripe strawberries, cleaned and hulled
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
¼ cup bourbon.

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a pot over medium heat; when it foams, add bananas, strawberries and brown sugar. Stir, and cook until sugar has melted into butter, about 5 minutes.
  • Add bourbon, and continue to cook until fruit is deeply soft and all the alcohol has cooked off, an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Serve over French toast or pancakes, or cool it and serve in yogurt.

The compote was bland and lacked flavor. I would recommend adding more spices or extracts to the recipe.

The compote was too thick for my liking. I would recommend adding more water or juice to the recipe.

The compote was a little too tart for my taste. I would recommend adding more sugar or honey to the recipe.

I made a few changes to the recipe. I used frozen strawberries instead of fresh, and I added a tablespoon of honey for extra sweetness.

This recipe is a great way to use up ripe bananas. I always have a few bananas that are about to go bad, so I'm glad I found this recipe.
