Nutrition information is calculated using an ingredient database and should be considered an estimate.) Strawberry compote is really easy to make. All you need are a few bright spring berries, a bit of sugar, and a splash of water or juice. In about 10 minutes of cooking time, you’ll have a deliciously sweet and tangy bread topper.
- If frozen fruit is all that you have at hand, go ahead and make the substitution; frozen fruit is usually processed at its peak of ripeness, so a good quality brand would yield great compote.
- For our recipe, just 2 tablespoons of sugar for 1 pound of strawberries is all you need, and the amounts are easily adjusted up or down depending on how much fruit you’re using.
Our batch makes 1 pint, for 8 total servings. Use strawberry compote like you’d use jam, but check our suggestions below to make the best use of this easy and wonderful homemade compote.
How many grams of sugar are in a strawberry shortcake?
How To Make Strawberry Shortcake in Advance – We recommend baking shortcake biscuits just before you serve them, but if you need to work ahead of time, try this:
- Make the biscuits up to a day ahead. Cool, then store in an airtight container. Reheat the biscuits in the microwave, one at a time, for 5 to 10 seconds.
- Wash and cut the strawberries up to a day ahead; refrigerate. About 20 minutes before serving, add the sugar and macerate the strawberries.
- You can make the whipped cream up to an hour ahead of time. Refrigerate it in an airtight container until you’re ready to serve.
I updated the biscuit recipe to use less cream. If you liked the original, use 1 1/2 cups of heavy whipping cream in place of the 1 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of cream. For the strawberries
- 3 pint baskets fresh strawberries (about 6 cups )
- 1/2 cup ( 100 g ) white granulated sugar
For the biscuits
- 3 1/4 cups ( 455 g ) all-purpose flour, divided
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 12 tablespoons ( 168 g ) unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 1 cup ( 236 ml ) milk
- 1/4 cup ( 60 ml ) heavy cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the whipped cream
- 1 cup ( 236 ml ) heavy whipping cream
- 2 teaspoons powdered sugar
- 2 drops vanilla extract
- Prep the strawberries: Cut the stems away from the strawberries and discard. Cut the strawberries in half, and then in either quarters or thick slices.
- Macerate the strawberries in sugar: Put the cut strawberries into a large bowl and sprinkle with sugar. Start with 1/4 cup of sugar and then add up to another 1/4 cup depending on how sweet your strawberries are. Gently stir the strawberries until they are all coated with some sugar. Let sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes, until the berries soften and begin to release their juices. Simply Recipes / Michelle Becker
- Mash some of the strawberries: After 20 minutes or so, mash about a quarter of the berries in the bowl with a potato masher and stir to mix. You don’t want to mash all the berries, just enough of them for their juices. Let sit while you bake the biscuits. Elise Bauer
- Combine the dry ingredients for the biscuits: In a large bowl, vigorously whisk together 3 cups of the flour, the sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Work in the butter: Cut the butter into the flour mixture, either using your fingers, a pastry cutter, a fork, or a food processor, until the largest pieces of butter are the size of peas. Simply Recipes / Michelle Becker Simply Recipes / Michelle Becker
- Add the wet ingredients: Stir together the milk and cream, add the vanilla extract. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour the milk mixture into it. Mix with a fork or wooden spoon until the mixture is just combined. It should look rather shaggy. If it is too wet to work with, sprinkle some of the remaining 1/4 cup of flour over it. Gently knead by hand a few times to form a loose ball of dough, adding more flour if needed. It should be slightly tacky but not wet. Simply Recipes / Michelle Becker Simply Recipes / Michelle Becker
- Chill the dough: Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and form it into an 8-inch square, about 3/4-inch to an inch thick. Place it on a parchment or silicone-lined baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap and chill for 20 minutes. Simply Recipes / Michelle Becker
- Bake the biscuits: Heat the oven to 425ºF. Remove the dough from refrigerator. Cut the dough into 9 even squares and space them about 2 inches apart from each other on the baking sheet. Bake until the biscuits are medium golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Makes 9 biscuits. Simply Recipes / Michelle Becker Simply Recipes / Michelle Becker
- Make the whipped cream: While the biscuits are baking, whip the cream using an electric mixer, adding a drop or two of vanilla and 2 teaspoons of powdered sugar. Cover with plastic and place in the refrigerator to chill until ready to serve. Simply Recipes / Michelle Becker
- Serve: Split the biscuits, if you like, and top with the macerated strawberries and whipped cream. Did you love this recipe? Give us some stars below! Simply Recipes / Michelle Becker

What is the average amount of sugar in a piece of cake?
26 July 2018 
A NEW study by Action on Sugar at Queen Mary University of London, published by the journal BMJ Open, 1 has investigated and documented the wide variation of sugar and calorie content within the same category of cakes and biscuits sold in the UK in 2016. The shock findings highlight 97% of cakes and 74% of biscuits received a ‘red’ (high) label for sugar (>22.5 g/100g). Despite this, the study showed that reformulation can be achieved. Click here to read our blog Click here to view the full report Click here to view media coverage Furthermore, worrying data from the recently published report by Public Health England shows many cake and biscuit manufacturers are failing to reformulate and reduce the amount of sugar sold in their products. For example, Tesco increased sugar sold on average in their biscuits by 2.6%, Fox’s Biscuits (1.3% increase), Pladis UK/McVities (1.3% increase) and Mondele z (1.0% increase) – all failing to meet the 5% sugar reduction target. In cake, Tesco (4.0% increase) and Sainsbury’s (0.6% increase) also increased the amount of sugar sold through cakes instead of meeting the 5% reduction target.2 In contrast, some companies made substantial reductions in the amount of sugar sold through cakes, exceeding the 5% target including Asda (-22.9% decrease) and Waitrose (-27.0% decrease). While, General Mills (-8.8%), the Co-operative (-8.0%) and Asda (-5.2%) reduced sugar sold through biscuits. Cakes In the BMJ Open paper, the average sugar content in cakes was 36.6g/100g coupled with a large variation in sugar content between different categories of cakes. On average, Battenberg (56.4g/100g) contained the highest amounts of sugar, followed by Genoa (45.9g/100 g) and red velvet cakes (44.2g/100g), while blueberry muffins (24.6g/100g) contained the lowest amount of sugar. More importantly there was a large variation within the same category of cake e.g. among Victoria sponge or similar cakes, ranging from 23.4 to 59.2g/100g. This variation demonstrates that reformulation can easily be done i.e. if some manufacturers can produce a similar cake with far less sugar or calories so can others. In the per serving analysis, consumers can find a Victoria sponge with as little as 11.9g sugar compared with a slice containing 34.3g sugar – a difference of 6 tsp. Similar to sugar, there was also a large variation in energy/calorie content between different categories of cakes. On average, plain sponge with chocolate (446 kcal/100g) contained the highest amount of energy, while Genoa cakes (356 kcal/100g) contained the lowest amount of energy. Again, there were large variations within the same category of cakes e.g. chocolate Swiss rolls, ranging from 366 to 500 kcal/100g. Branded cakes had a slightly higher sugar content per 100g compared with supermarket own label (37.7g vs 36.3g). Among the manufacturers with five or more cakes, the McVitie’s product range contained the highest average sugar (43.1g) and Premier Foods contained the highest energy (424 kcal) per 100g. Biscuits The average sugar content in biscuits was 30.0g/100g as well as a large variation in sugar content between different categories of biscuits. On average, iced biscuits (43.5g/100 g) contained the highest amounts of sugar and shortbread biscuits (17.5g/100 g) contained the lowest. More importantly there was a large variation in sugar content within the same category of biscuits, e.g. among breakfast biscuits, ranging from 12.0 to 30.9g/100g. The average energy content in biscuits was 484 kcal/100g. Shortbread biscuits with additions (528 kcal/100 g) contained the highest amount of energy and fruit-filled biscuits (391 kcal/100 g) contained the lowest amount. Similarly, there was a large variation in energy content in similar biscuit products, e.g. among jam and cream biscuits, calorie content ranged from 425 to 558kcal/100g. Among the manufacturers with five or more products, the Fox’s product range contained the highest average sugar content, 35.8 g/100 g, and Dr. Schar product range contained the highest average energy content, 512 kcal/100 g. Our study has shown that reductions in sugar and energy/calorie content of cakes and biscuits are possible since there was a large variation in sugar and energy content between different cake and biscuit categories and within the same category. A reduction in sugar and energy content, and overall cake and biscuit consumption, can help reduce overall sugar and energy intake in the UK and thus reduce the risk of obesity and tooth decay. In 2016, the government’s sugar-reduction programme was launched, where food and drink companies were asked to reduce sugar in their products by 20% by 2020.3 Manufacturers can choose to achieve the 20% reduction in a number of ways: by reformulating their products (without increasing overall calories), reducing portion size or promoting their lower-sugar products. Kawther Hashem, co-author of the study and registered Nutritionist, for Action on Sugar at Queen Mary University of London says: “This research clearly shows the levels of sugar and calories in products can be reduced since there was a large variation in sugar and calorie content within the same category of cakes and biscuits yet worryingly not all manufacturers are complying. If some manufacturers can produce chocolate cake bars with 22% fewer calories per 100 g, so can others.” Graham MacGregor, co-author of the study and Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry and Chairman of Action on Sugar says: “Large amounts of cakes and biscuits are consumed in the UK so a reduction in the amount of sugar and calorie content could play an important role in helping prevent obesity and tooth decay. The majority of the food and drink industry in the UK have asked the government for a more robust and mandatory programme of reformulation.4 It is a tragedy for our children that this has not been done.” Katherine Hale, World Cancer Research Fund’s Head of Health Information, says: “The difference in levels of sugar in very similar foods that this study has revealed is shocking, but it does show that if one manufacturer can reduce sugar levels in their products, then it is possible for other manufacturers to do the same. We now need the government to take stronger action and make it compulsory for food manufacturers and retailers to reduce sugar levels in their products. Eating too much sugar leads to overweight and obesity, which our latest cancer prevention report shows is a cause of 12 different types of cancer. Healthy lifestyle patterns depend not only on individual choices but also on governments creating an environment that encourages people to eat healthily and do more exercise. WCRF calls on the government to prioritise cancer prevention through the development and implementation of effective policies to address the rising burden of obesity and cancer in the UK.” Martyn Gray, Managing Director of Nairn’s says: “We know that biscuits are something of an institution – Mintel report that biscuits are eaten by 9 out of 10 people in the UK. At Nairn’s we recognise that it’s ok to treat yourself every now and then and we make it even easier for people to make that treat something that is healthier but doesn’t compromise on taste. We use less sugar in our award winning oat biscuit ranges than other biscuit brands. We also compare them against over 100 other ‘similar’ products to get a comparative average. Depending on the flavour, our biscuits contain between 30-45% less sugar than the average of those other biscuits”.

What is the ratio of sugar to fruit?
Choose the fruit when ripened – A jam made from unripe fruit simply won’t taste much like fruit, and will be overly sweet. So the first rule is to make sure your fruit is well ripened, When it comes to the choice of sugar, there’s not much difference between the various types, even though cane sugar will give the jam a more homemade texture.
- The ratio between fruit and sugar varies : with sweet fruits, it’s about 2:1 (2 kilos of fruit, 1 of sugar), while with more bitter fruits like oranges, it should be more like 3:2.
- If uncertain, it’s better to round up with the sugar.
- The other potential ingredients – lemon and pectin – are found in many jam recipes.

How many cups are in a pound of strawberries?
In terms of weight, 1 pound of strawberries roughly translates to 3 cups of whole strawberries or 36 small strawberries.
How many pounds of strawberries is 2 cups?
↵ View All Produce Conversions It can be frustrating to try a new recipe and not understand how much of an ingredient to purchase at the store. Sometimes they give you a quantity of strawberries in volume (2 cups or 1 pint), sometimes as a weight (4 ounces) and still others the strawberries are given as a fruit description (1 pound of fresh large strawberries).
- But what are they really talking about? How many strawberries in a pound? In order to help make cooking easier we did some experiments to help tell you exactly how many strawberries you need to buy.
- To answer How many strawberries in a cup we went to the local market to check out the fruit section.
- After surveying the options we found that a 1 pint container that holds about 12 strawberries is considered large berries.
The count for medium sized strawberries is 24 and if they are small there will be about 36 berries in the 1 pint container. However, in the grocery store most 1 pint cartons have a mix of sizes. We selected 1 pound of fresh strawberries with the green leaves still attached for our how many strawberries in a pint testing samples.
- Strawberries are normally trimmed of the upper section where the stem enters the berry and then are served whole, sliced or chopped.
- In addition, these berries are made into refreshing and tasty jellies and jams.
- Many basic jelly and jam recipes use 3 to 4 quarts of fresh strawberries.
- This would give you 3 to 4 cups of juice for jelly or 6 to 8 cups of mashed berries for making jam.
Once we hit the kitchen we started our measuring, our 1 pound strawberries yielded 3.5 to 4 cups of whole berries; these were mixed sizes but predominantly medium to large. One cup of these whole strawberries weighed 4 to 5 ounces. Next we cut our pound of strawberries into 1/4 inch thick slices and ended up with 2.7 cups or 1.3 pints. Did you know that technically a strawberry is not a berry, it is a member of the rose family. It is the only fruit with the seeds on the outside; each strawberry has about 200 seeds. Unlike some other fruits, they don’t continue to ripen after being picked.
