Ingredients

2 cups fresh blueberries
3 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
¼ cup white granulated sugar
½ cup water + 1 tablespoon water separated
1 Tablespoon corn starch

Instructions

Add blueberries, lemon juice, zest of lemon, sugar and ½ cup water to a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and allow to simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, until the blueberries expand.
Create a cornstarch slurry by whisking 1 tablespoon water with 1 tablespoon cornstarch in a separate bowl. Slowly stir it into blueberries and allow the mixture to cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat. Enjoy.

Notes

Mix the cornstarch with the water before adding it to the fruit. If you add it straight in, it can become clumpy.
If making ahead of time, let it cool before storing.
Let the compote cool slightly before serving.
