Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup freeze-dried blueberries
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tbsp honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice (optional for brightness)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional for added flavor)
  • 1 tsp cornstarch (or arrowroot powder) mixed with 1 tsp water (optional for thickening)

Instructions

  1. Rehydrate the Blueberries
    • In a small saucepan, combine the freeze-dried blueberries and water. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow the blueberries to soften slightly.
  2. Cook the Compote:
    • Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the honey (or maple syrup) and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  3. Thicken the Compote:
    • If you prefer a thicker compote, stir in the cornstarch-water mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the compote thickens slightly.
  4. Add Vanilla (Optional):
    • Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract for warmth and sweetness.
  5. Cool and Serve:
    • Let the compote cool slightly before serving. Use it as a topping for goat cheese, yogurt, pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, or ice cream.

Notes

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
