Blueberry Compote

This blueberry fruit compote is jam-packed with sweet, tangy goodness!

Get ready to take your breakfasts, desserts, and snacks from bland and ordinary to berry-extraordinary with our irresistible blueberry compote recipe. Made with frozen blueberries, water, sugar, and a splash of lemon juice, this recipe is as easy as pie (but way less work).

What is a compote, anyway? Think of it as fruit’s answer to a cosy jam - a quick-cooked, chunky sauce that’s sweet, tangy, and bursting with blueberries. You can use fresh or frozen berries, but frozen blueberries make this easy blueberry compote a year-round treat you can keep in the freezer.

To whip up this compote, put half your blueberries, along with the water, sugar, and lemon juice, into a saucepan and let them simmer away. In about ten minutes chuck the rest of the berries in, and you’ll have a glossy, jammy, chunky blueberry fruit compote which is perfect for swirling over pancakes, waffles, yogurt, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Feeling fancy? Drizzle it over cheesecake or layer it between cake slices for a show-stopping dessert. And don’t be afraid to get creative! Try this easy blueberry compote with oatmeal for a breakfast upgrade, or pair it with brie and crackers for a sweet-and-savoury snack.
