Blueberry compote

Blueberry compote is a fruit preparation made from fresh or frozen blueberries cooked with sugar and water. It can be prepared as a home-canned preserve for long-term storage or as a quickly made topping. The compote has a deep purple color, a pleasant sweet-tart flavor, and a juicy consistency. It is served as a topping for pancakes, crêpes, cheesecakes, ice cream, or yogurt. It also works wonderfully in pies and as a filling for pastries and strudels. Blueberries are naturally rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and anthocyanins. Homemade compote without artificial additives is a healthier alternative to commercially produced jams.
