Maine Blueberry Compote Recipes

FRESH BLUEBERRY COMPOTE RECIPE

Steps:

• Add blueberries, maple syrup and lemon juice to a medium saucepan and stir to combine. Farm Girl Tip: My recommendation is to add half to 3/4 of the lemon juice and then taste after it's cooked for a few minutes. If you want to use the rest of the lemon juice, add it at that time.
• Heat over medium heat and bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of water and 1 tablespoon cornstarch to make a slurry. Stir until smooth, then gently told into the pan with the blueberries, taking care not to crush them.
• Cook, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes until the mixture is reduced and thickened. (It should coat the back of a spoon).
• Remove from heat and add vanilla extract, lemon zest and a pinch of salt.
