Calories 69kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cups frozen blueberries divided
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, combine 2 cups blueberries, maple syrup, water, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low, add the remainder of the blueberries, and cook for 5 to 8 more minutes (or until compote reaches your desired consistency), stirring frequently. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Serve warm.
Notes
- The frozen blueberries do not need to be thawed. You may use fresh blueberries if you wish, but you will probably want to reduce the total cooking time by a few minutes.
- If your berries are particularly sour or sweet, you may increase or decrease the maple syrup.
- This compote is not necessarily thick...when it's finished cooking, it's a mixture of stewed berries with a bit of syrup.
- This recipe only makes ½ cup, but it's very concentrated, so a little bit goes a long way.
