Measure and prep all ingredients.
Thoroughly rinse the blueberries if using fresh blueberries. In a small saucepan, add 1½ cups blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest and a pinch of salt.
Turn the heat to medium. Cook until the blueberries burst, release their juices and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. (See notes 3.)
Add the remaining ½ cup of blueberries to the compote and stir until well combined.
Enjoy warm or chilled. (See notes 4.)
Notes:
- Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used. Wild blueberries are smaller and filled with extra blueberry flavor and are highly recommended.
- Like any fruit, the sweetness of blueberries varies. If you have extra sweet blueberries reduce the amount of sugar used. If your blueberries are extra sour, add more sugar.
- Frozen blueberries will take longer to reduce.
- Chilled blueberry compote will be thicker.
