Blueberry Compote

5 ingredients
2 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 pints fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. 1
    Add half of the blueberries to a medium pot, along with the water and the sugar. If using the fresh thyme, add it now as well. Set the pot over high heat. Simmer the blueberries for approximately 8 minutes, until they burst and fully released their juices. When the cooked blueberries look stewed and shriveled, remove the pot from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
  2. 2
    Remove and discard the sprigs of fresh thyme. Add the vanilla extract. Transfer the mixture to a blender, and puree until smooth. Transfer the puree to a mixing bowl and fold the remaining fresh blueberries into the puree. Store in the refrigerator up to 3 days. Serve with greek yogurt, ice cream, cake, or anything else your heart desires!
