Blueberry Compote
Homemade blueberry compote is bursting with fruit flavor, made with just three ingredients, and ready to enjoy over a bowl of ice cream in just about 15 minutes.
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries thawed
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Add the blueberries, sugar and lemon juice to a small sauce pot. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is melted and the compote starts to bubble.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the compote from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature. Store in a container in the refrigerator. The compote will be runny but it will thicken when it chills.
Notes
- Adjust the sugar to taste: Taste the blueberries before cooking to see if you'll need more or less sugar.
- Store for up to 7 days in the fridge in an airtight mason or preserving jar. Compote can also be frozen for up to 2 months in an airtight container.
- You can strain out the seeds and skins if you prefer using a sieve.
