Blueberry Compote

Blueberry Compote

 I find myself always describing my recipes as “easy or simple” so I’m not going to mention that here, i’m going to refrain.  Look at this recipe and decide for yourself.  I will say this though; yummmm!

Makes about 2 cups

2 Cups blueberries

2 tbsp water, divided

¼ Cup sugar

The juice of a quarter lemon

1 tbsp cornstarch

–  Combine the blueberries, 1 tbsp of water, sugar and lemon juice in a pot and heat it over medium low heat for about 20 minutes, until you see a liquid start to form in the pot.

–  Turn the heat up and bring the compote to a boil.

–  Combine the remaining tbsp of water and the cornstarch together; mix until the cornstarch is dissolved and lump free.

–  Add the cornstarch mixture to the boiling pot, stir well and promptly turn the heat off the pot.

–  Set the pot aside and let the compote come down to room temperature.

–  Place the compote in the fridge to cool.

Notes:

1. Feel free to use frozen berries in place of fresh, just omit the tbsp of water.
2. This recipe works for any berry or berry combination you’d like.
