Do you know how to pronounce the word, "Compote?"

Well...I didn't for the longest time. Like until just 5 minutes ago. Sigh.

I knew how to cook a compote and what it was and that I liked it on my pancakes. But actually pronouncing it?

Not so much.

At restaurants, I would kind of mumble or slur my words so as not to give away I didn't know how to say it.

Sad, I know.

And I probably wasn't even fooling anyone. Ah well.

The thing is: I have a wonderful and easy peasy Blueberry Compote recipe I wanted to share but I felt I couldn't post the recipe unless I knew how to pronounce the word accurately.

I know. I know. You would've never even known I couldn't pronounce it if I hadn't said anything.

But I had to come clean. It had been too long!

I feel much better now, so thank you very much.

In fact, I even found a website that pronounces words for you. So if you don't know how to pronounce "compote" either, just click on over here.

No one will ever know...

**Cough** No judging. **Cough**

As for this tasty Blueberry Compote, I highly suggest you try it out this weekend for breakfast...over some pancakes, waffles, cheesecake, oatmeal or french toast. Shoot...I like it by the spoonful.

Ingredients

▢ 2 cups frozen blueberries divided
▢ 3 tablespoon water
▢ 2 ½ tablespoon honey
▢ ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
▢ ½-1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice optional

Instructions

Pour half the blueberries (1 cup) into a medium sauce pan and set aside the remaining 1 cup. Add the water, honey and cinnamon and cook over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, gently smash the blueberries against the pan using a wooden or plastic spatula. Add the remaining blueberries and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes to heat through.
Add lemon juice, if desired, to taste. (This will make the blueberry flavor pop a little bit more but isn't necessary.)
Serve warm.

I made this easy blueberry compote this morning for a yogurt-granola parfait, and I LOVE it!! I am so happy honey is used as a sweetener.

I use your recipe with fresh blueberries. Once it’s cooled, I store the compote in a mason jar in the fridge. My family uses the compote on ice cream, yogurt, toast, sandwiches, etc. I imagine, this would be good in a vinaigrette as well. Thanks for sharing!

I tried this the other day, and I used the compote to make a blueberry cobbler (my first cobbler ever). And my family loved it! It was so good!
Now I'm trying it with come canned peaches as well, and a little of the peach syrup. I also added a couple sprinkles of ground ginger.
Here's hoping!

  That's a tasty-sounding cobbler, Tim! So is the ginger peach compote. Thanks for sharing!

  Very good question - I've never tried, but I'd imagine it could be frozen.

Sounds good! I am looking to swirl this into mini cheesecakes so I think I will cut out the honey so it isn't too sweet and maybe less water? I don't know I will make it as you have listed and work from there. I can't wait to try this on waffles too! I just found this site from a google search. Seems like a great site. Oh and I'm certainly going to use that site from now on when I need to know how to say a word lol. Thanks 🙂

  Hi Adrienne! I'm so glad you found this site. Welcome 🙂
  
  Your idea of swirling it into a mini cheesecake sounds amazing. Yes, I'd recommend reducing the liquid since you'll want it to be a swirl. Best of luck!

Thanks!! I want my compote to be thicker, how do I achieve that?

  Hi Pam! Mix the 3 tbsp. water with 1 tbsp. cornstarch before adding to the compote and then cook until thickened. That should do the trick 🙂
