Ingredients
2 cup(s)
blueberries, divided, see notes 1
2-3 tbsp
granulated sugar, see notes 2
1 tbsp
fresh lemon juice
1/2 tbsp
lemon zest
1
pinch of salt
Directions 5 steps | 15 Minutes
Step 1
Measure and prep all ingredients.
Step 2
Thoroughly rinse the blueberries if using fresh blueberries. In a small saucepan, add 1½ cups blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Turn the heat to medium. Cook until the blueberries burst, release their juices and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. (See notes 3.)
Step 4
Add the remaining ½ cup of blueberries to the compote and stir until well combined.
Step 5
Enjoy warm or chilled. (See notes 4.)
Notes:
- Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used. Wild blueberries are smaller and filled with extra blueberry flavor and are highly recommended.
- 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.
- Frozen blueberries will take longer to reduce.
- Chilled blueberry compote will be thicker.
