Wash and dry the strawberries. Remove the stems, cutting them in half for a chunky feel or slicing each into 8 pieces for a saucier compote.

Juice the lemon, ensuring to remove any seeds and pith. Optionally, you can taste and add a little more if desired.

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat.

Let it simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring often until strawberries break down.

Remove from heat and cool. It will thicken further upon cooling. It can be enjoyed warm or cold.
