How to Make an Easy Strawberry Compote for the Best Breakfast on the Campsite!
This is one of the easiest camping recipes you will ever encounter! This recipe only requires 3 ingredients and a little bit of patience! Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day so I must show out! I pair this recipe with the Krusteaz Buttermilk pancake mix. I always get the "just add water mix" for easy mixing and less ingredients to carry. I have found this brand to be the best tasting box pancakes, don't debate me, debate Jemima! All my recipes are for two so double it for 4!
1 tablespoon of unsalted butter
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups diced fresh strawberries
This recipe requires a camp stove but if you have a dutch oven or pans that can handle direct high heat, you can cook this on a campfire. The stove we use for this recipe is called the Eureka Ignite Camp Stove, gifted to us by Eureka Camping.
Add all 3 ingredients to pot. I like to use a little sauce pan or a 1qt pot.
Turn on camp stove to lowest heat setting.
Cover with foil or top. I like to cover the mixture so the moisture can help the fruit soften faster.
Let ingredients cook down for about 15 mins. Check and stir frequently, especially if using a campfire.
The strawberries will start to get soft and the sugar will turn into liquid. You will know your compote is done when the strawberries start to lose a bit of their shape and the mixture turns red.
Serve cooled or hot over buttermilk pancakes! Be very careful your mixture will be very hot!
