Notes:

  1. Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used. Wild blueberries are smaller and filled with extra blueberry flavor and are highly recommended.
  2. Like any fruit, the sweetness of blueberries varies. If you have extra sweet blueberries reduce the amount of sugar used. If your blueberries are extra sour, add more sugar.
  3. Frozen blueberries will take longer to reduce. 
  4. Chilled blueberry compote will be thicker.
