Mango and strawberry compote is a simple fruit sauce that can be used in place of syrups, jams as a sweetener and you can enjoy this fruit sauce with crepes, yogurts, oatmeal, ice cream, waffles, pancakes, shortcakes, and many more. To make compote you can use mixed berries, just select your favorites, you can mix different types of fruits and in this case, I used mango and strawberries.
This mango and strawberry compote needed just four ingredients; fruits, lemon juice, and sugar, you can substitute the sugar with a sweetener of your choice. Make sure the mango you’re using is firm for easy dicing. You can add ground cinnamon if you desire. You can enjoy this compote warm or cold, store in a covered container and it can last up to a week in the refrigerator.

Cook for about 5 minutes, then add the diced mango, lemon juice and continue to cook for additional 10 minutes or more on low heat. Depending on how you want your mango, if you want it very soft you can cook further, remove it from the heat when you get the preferred texture of mango. Stir frequently to avoid burning.
