Fresh Blueberry Compote

Easy Blueberry Compote recipe is super easy to make and tastes just amazing. Mix it with your morning oatmeal or pudding or yogurt, use it as a  topping for pancakes or waffles. Even better, looking for dessert? Top vanilla ice cream with this easy and delicious compote. Does it get any better than this? 😃

Compote is made by cooking fresh or frozen fruit along with a sweetner or juice, and spices are added to create a syrupy and chunky dessert. Natural pectin in the fruit helps it thicken. Basically this is a recipe you can pull together on a whim. Also, it can be adapted to suit whatever fruit is in season. 

How to make Blueberry Compote ?

A simple concept. Throw in fresh fruit, sweetener (I used jaggery in the recipe), and little water (you can opt for juice too) in a pot.

Bring it to boil. Simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes.

For more flavor, add ginger, cinnamon, or any other spice of your choice.

You can use this as topping for –
