Cooking Notes

Cooked as recommended for 15-20 minutes on medium-high heat, this sugary compote will scorch long before it's ready. A quarter cup of bourbon is great, but won't be enough liquid. Keep the heat low, add water if necessary, stir often, and don't walk away from the stove.

There's no bourbon where I live, so I'm using golden rum. (I am in the western hemisphere, but a rum-centric culture)

I used frozen strawberries as it's the middle of winter; this allowed for enough liquid. So easy, so tasty!
Anayansi
I used blackberries instead of strawberries and it came out delicious!!

Substitute rum for bourbon. Made a perfect compote for crepes!

This was tasty but got dry and mushy fairly quickly. Maybe the strawberries were not juicy enough, but I'm wondering if others found the same and if anyone has a fix. Thanks!

Made this using sour mash whiskey, because that was what I had on hand, and a splash of vanilla. I also added a spoonful of strawberry rhubarb jam for colour.It was delicious, but it took a long time to cook off the moisture after the addition of the alcohol.

Don't sleep on this one. The effort to reward ratio is fantastic!

There are clearly almonds in the picture! So we added some sliced almonds, toasted, and they were tasty! Used frozen strawberries which worked well just not as colorful, cut in half. Next time I would make enough French toast mix for 6 slices of bread and use this recipe over those, enough for 3 people.

perhaps too much butter. The Bourbon was a good add

Honestly I found this a little bit disgusting--the bananas became brown, mushy, and unpleasant, and I didn't like the soft, hot strawberries, which seemed to go against nature somewhat. I subbed Grand Mariner for the bourbon which should have made it more delicious but in fact only made it more expensive.

Could you make this successfully with brown butter? Would that mean browning the butter before adding the fruit & sugar or could some of the browning be after? Alternatively, how about adding the sugar right away an carmelizing it?

This is easy, elegant and delicious — the aroma of it as it was cooking alone! ... I added it to my steel cut oatmeal for a slightly extravagant morning treat. Saving the rest to dress up vanilla ice cream

Used salty caramel whisky as I had no bourbon. Looks nothing like the photo, but it’s delicious in yogurt.

Why organic bananas and any [unspecified] strawberries?
Naomi
I do not generally buy organic food, but my husband and I agree that organic bananas taste better. We can't taste a difference between organic vs. conventional strawberries. But I can't say for sure that that's why the recipe is written this way.
