Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Add blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and salt to a medium saucepan.

  2. Step 2

    Stir once to combine. Heat over medium until the mixture begins to bubble, ~4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until berries burst and sauce thickens, ~6 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Remove from heat. Let cool for 2 minutes — the compote will thicken as it cools.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer to a bowl or jar. Serve warm or at room temperature.
