Got some strawberries that will go bad soon? Eating pancakes tomorrow? Make a compote! A compote is a great addition to any sweet breakfast meal. From french toast to yogurt. Heck, you can even throw that stuff on some desserts!
This can also be made with a mix of berries or even frozen fruit. A compote is not quite a jam, but can be used the same way. The storing rate is different though, compotes are meant to be consumed quickly, not stored in the fridge for long periods of time.

- 2 cups strawberries fresh or frozen
