Notes
Ingredients Notes:
The sugar content can be adjusted to suit your taste and might need to be increased if the blueberries you are using are not naturally sweet. I recommend tasting the compote when almost cooked and add more sugar if needed.
If using Frozen Blueberries, allow an extra couple of minutes for them to thaw on the stove or leave them to thaw before starting the recipe.
Instruction Notes:
The exact cooking time may vary depending on the temperature of the stove and the blueberries. There is no right or wrong when it comes to consistency so you can leave the compote to simmer for longer if you want a thicker, more reduced sauce.
I recommend tasting the compote at this point and adjusting the flavours with more lemon juice or sugar if needed.
