How to Make Tequila Lime Strawberry Compote

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup tequila, 1/4 cup lime juice, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon lime zest, and a pinch of salt until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Gently fold in 2 pounds fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced.
  3. Toss to coat the strawberries evenly with the tequila-lime mixture.
  4. Let the compote stand at room temperature for 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld, or chill in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours for a colder, more refreshing treat.
