Blueberry Compote Topping Recipes

Steps:

• Place blueberries in a large stockpot and crush with a potato masher. Add water and lemon peel; simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. Strain fruit through cheese cloth, metal strainer or food mill to remove pulp and seeds; reserve juice.
• In a large saucepan, mix sugar and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, until temperature reaches 260 degrees F (125 degrees C). Add blueberry juice and boil for 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice and remove from heat. Let cool and freeze or can as desired.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch and salt. Gradually whisk in water until smooth. Add blueberries, lemon zest and juice; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until thickened, 2-3 minutes (some berries will remain whole). Serve warm or chilled over ice cream.

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 the blueberries, sugar, and water in a small, heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer, stirring often, until blueberries burst, about 10 minutes.
• Stir remaining blueberries into the simmering mixture. Continue to simmer until compote thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 8 minutes.

Steps:

• In heavy saucepan, combine all ingredients.
• Heat, stirring occasionally until sauce boils and thickens.
• Serve immediately or refrigerate and reheat before serving.
• Yield and prep time not specified in recipe, so these are estimates.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan combine 1 cup blueberries, sugar and water. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Many berries will begin to burst and syrup should thicken. Add remaining cup of berries and allow them to heat through.
• Spoon warm compote into crepes. Drizzle with maple syrup and dollop with sweetened whipped cream. Garnish with additional blueberries.

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup of the blueberries, water, sugar and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over a medium heat for about 10 minutes. Add the rest of the blueberries and cook for 8 minutes more, stirring frequently. Serve warm.
