    This blueberry compote is so easy to make and it is the perfect topping for your morning pancakes. Another great thing is that you only need a few ingredients.

    Blueberry Compote

    I have been making berry compote for many years and I love that it is so simple and easy to prepare. Fruit compote is very similar to jam but instead of being used as a spread it is mainly use as a topping.

    I use blueberry compote to top pancakes, crepes, French toast, ice-cream, yoghurt and oats porridge and I feel it makes all these foods a little extra special. When I have it with pancakes, crepes or French toast, I usually add a dollop of whipped cream which makes it even more delicious. You can also use this recipe as a filling for blueberry pie.

    Because compote is made to eat within a smaller window than jam, I usually make a small batch but if you want a larger batch then you can easily double this recipe.

    Another thing that’s good about compote is that it doesn’t contain as many calories as jam because it uses less sugar so you can enjoy this blueberry compote without taking in too many calories.

    Ingredients for Blueberry Compote

    • 250g blueberries – I use frozen but you can also use fresh if you prefer.
    • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar – you can also use caster sugar.
    • ½ lemon – squeezed. I use a citrus squeezer.
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – use good quality vanilla extract and not essence.

    How to Make Blueberry Compote

    1. Add all the ingredients to a saucepan and place the saucepan on a medium heat. Stir occasionally and do not leave the pan unattended. Once the blueberries have released their water and the liquid content in the pan has increased, slightly increase the heat and stir more frequently until the water has evaporated and the juice has thickened.

    2. Remove the pan from the heat and pour it into a heat resistant bowl to cool. Once cooled, it is ready to use.
