Easy Blueberry Compote Recipe

If you are a fan of blueberries, you’ve got to try this super easy blueberry compote recipe.  This recipe for blueberry compote was originally created to top a bowl of ice cream, but I have used it as a gourmet jelly for sandwiches and over a nice thick waffle. With just four simple ingredients (five if you like it a little sweeter), this blueberry compote will become a go-to summertime favorite.

cooking tips

• I love to store this in my refrigerator and treat it like a jelly for sandwiches, or make this a blueberry compote for pancakes, and even packaged up as a fun hostess gift.

• This is a little tart, if you want more sweetness you can always add a teaspoon at a time of honey.
