Ingredients

1 lb. blueberries (fresh works best)
¼ cup water
2 tsps lemon zest
1 ½ tbsp lemon juice remove any seeds
4 tbsps granulated sugar

Instructions

Wash fresh blueberries and pat them dry.
Add blueberries, lemon zest, juice, and granulated sugar to your sauce pan.
Cook over medium-low heat for 6 minutes or until berries have popped and are a deep violet color. They will be tender and the juices will be abundant; stir occasionally.
Reduce heat to low, and cook for another 3 minutes for a thinner consistency compote as seen above.
Serve warm, or allow compote to cool and store in an air tight jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
