Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon cold water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons of water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries begin to release their juices, about 4-5 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 teaspoon of cold water to create a slurry.
Gradually add the cornstarch slurry to the blueberry mixture, stirring continuously to ensure it is evenly incorporated.
Continue cooking the mixture for another 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the compote to cool slightly. It will thicken further as it cools.
Serve the compote warm or chilled as a topping for pancakes, waffles, yogurt, or desserts. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
