Blueberry compote with no added sugar.

 
This compote sauce is both a sweet and tart thanks to the fresh blueberries and the lemon juice that is added to it.

I like that this blueberry compote is like slightly concentrated fresh blueberries but, with a slightly syrupy texture.

That strawberry compote recipe is similar to this one as they are both compote recipes made with fresh fruit and no added sugar. However, that compote recipe is thickened with sugar free pectin. Both recipes are delicious and made with no added sugar.

This compote can be stored in glass jars which also are nice for sharing your homemade compote with others. You can find a selection of jars that may work for compote here.

Tips for making homemade compote.

Fresh blueberries are preferred for making a recipe such as this one. However, frozen blueberries will also work but, may result in a bit less flavor. Also, when selecting your frozen blueberries, make sure that the packaging only contains blueberries (ie no added sugar).

More helpful tips for you.

1. When cooking you compote, your goal is to get a thickened sauce. If your compote gets 'mushy' that means it has been on the stove too long. You can try stirring in a few more berries to try balancing this out.
2. This is one of those recipes that people have their own preferences on how they like it. Feel free to adjust the ingredients as needed (lemon juice or alternative) to get your desired flavor.
3. You can make your blueberry compote even more flavorful by adding spices or vanilla extract. I like cinnamon or mint for example with blueberries (start small when adding these flavors).

How to store blueberry compote.

This blueberry compote sauce should be stored in an airtight container and refrigerator for about a week. You should know that this sauce may thicken as it cools but, you can reheat is and add a bit of water as needed.

• Next, stir in the slurry (cornstarch and water mixture) and cook until thickened (about a minute or two), using a whisk to stir as needed.
