STRAWBERRY AND ELDERBERRY COMPOTE

WITH MILK

Jordgubbs- och fläderkräm med mjölk

This type of fruit and/or dessert is very common and popular in Sweden. It's not really a compote, more like a thickened fruit soup, sometimes smooth without pieces of fruit or berries, sometimes with.

Serves 4

2 cups strawberries, fresh or

frozen, thawed

0.4 cup sugar

0.4 cup concentrated elderberry drink

4 tablespoons Maizena

or potato starch

0.2 cup water

For serving:

milk

Put strawberries, sugar and elderberry drink in a saucepan and bring to a boil while stirring. Simmer for 5 minutes. Roughly mash the strawberries with a hand mixer. Stir Maizena with water and add this to the saucepan while stirring. Bring to a boil but do not let it boil.

Pour in a bowl and allow to cool. Sprinkle a little sugar on the surface to prevent it from "skinning".

Serve with milk.

Enjoy!
