Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 500 grams 500 gr Blueberries Fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 Lemon 1/2 Lemon, juiced About 30 ml or 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
  • 50 grams 50 gr Caster Sugar Fine white sugar that adds sweetness

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin your compote by placing the blueberries, lemon juice, and caster sugar into a small pot. Gently stir the mixture to ensure that the sugar and lemon juice coat all the berries evenly.
  2. Turn on the heat to low or medium-low. This will allow the berries to begin releasing their juices gradually, creating a luscious syrup.
  3. Let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10 to 15 minutes. The berries will soften, and you’ll notice the juices thickening into a beautiful compote.
  4. Once the blueberries have softened and the compote has thickened to your desired consistency, remove it from the heat. Transfer the mixture into a clean jar or bowl and allow it to cool before storing it in the fridge.

Notes

If you prefer a sweeter compote, feel free to add more caster sugar. For a smoother texture, you can blend the compote after cooking. Consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract for additional flavor.
