Simple Blueberry Compote Ingredients

You only need a few ingredients for this recipe, with the blueberries being the star of the show. For the best flavor, go for fresh, organic, high-quality blueberries!

Ingredients

BLUEBERRY COMPOTE:

• Fresh blueberries. You could also use frozen if fresh isn't available for you!
• Blueberry jam/preserves. This adds some extra rich blueberry flavor. My fave is the brand Boone Maman
• Cane sugar. For sweetness.
• Water.
• Lemon juice. Freshly squeezed, this is what helps to thicken the jam up.
• Vanilla extract. Use pure vanilla extract for the best vanilla flavor.
• Pinch of ground cinnamon. Optional.

How To Make Blueberry Compote

• In a saucepan, add the blueberries, sugar, cinnamon (if using), blueberry jam/preserves, vanilla, water, and lemon juice, stirring until combined and blueberries are coated. Let them sit for about 5 minutes or so---until they begin to release their juices. Turn on the heat to low and continue to stir so that you can scrape down the sides of the pot if needed.
• Let everything simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently. Once blueberries begin to soften, continue stirring and begin to mash the blueberries until fully broken down. NOTE: Continue to stir frequently to avoid burning. Mixture should begin to thicken a bit as the blueberries become more mashed and softened.
• Remove from heat. Serve + enjoy as needed.
