Easy Blueberry Compote (3-ingredients)
Blueberry compote is made with fresh or frozen blueberries, and it's super easy and quick to make. Only takes 3 ingredients, and it's the perfect topping for cakes, desserts, and so on.
Ingredients
- 2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Place the blueberries, lemon juice, and sugar in a deep saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and lower the heat.
- Continue to simmer while stirring occasionally, taking care not to crush the blueberries, until the sauce begins to thicken and get the desired consistency. The process takes about 5 minutes. Keep in mind that the sauce continues to thicken when it cools. So turn off the heat just a little before you get a perfect consistency.
- If the sauce is too thick, you can add a bit of water and continue simmering until you get the desired consistency.
- Remove from the heat and let cool.
- Store the sauce in an air-tight container or jar in the refrigerator for about a week. You can also freeze it in an air-tight container.
Notes
TIP: For a thicker sauce, add one tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved in one tablespoon of water when the blueberries boil. Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste.
