Description

A simple recipe for homemade blueberry compote, made with honey instead of sugar. Use this for swirling into blueberry popsicles, topping panna cotta, or anywhere you might usually use a blueberry sauce.

Ingredients

  • 250 grams (9 oz) blueberries fresh or frozen
  • Juice of a lemon ~3 tablespoons
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, to taste
Metric - Cups

Instructions

  • Add the blueberries, lemon juice, and honey to a small saucepan.
    250 grams (9 oz) blueberries, Juice of a lemon, 1 to 2 tablespoons honey
  • Cover and heat over medium, until simmering. Simmer the compote, uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently. The sauce should thicken slightly. If it's sticking at all, reduce the heat and add a splash of water.
  • Taste and sweeten if needed. Serve warm or cold. When cooled, blueberry compote thickens into a thin jam-like consistency.
  • The compote will keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week and freezes well.

Notes

Storage: keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for about a week.
Freezing: transfer cooled compote to an airtight container and freeze for up to three months. Thaw in the refrigerator before use.
