Notes
- Use REAL maple syrup, not pancake syrup.
- No maple syrup? You can substitute an equal amount of honey.
- If you want a sweeter sauce, increase the amount of maple syrup.
- If you make this with frozen berries you may need to increase the cooking time.
- The sauce will thicken even more as the strawberry compote recipe cools.
- Storage - keep in an airtight container inside the fridge for up to 5 days.
- There is just 1 WW Blue Plan SmartPoint in a serving of this.
