Ingredients

3 cups frozen wild blueberries
1/2 cup coconut sugar or granulated sweetener of choice
1 tbsp grade A amber maple syrup
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp fresh lemon zest
1 tsp real vanilla extract
3 tbsp water divided
2 tsp tapioca starch or cornstarch

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine half of the frozen berries, coconut sugar, maple syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and 2 tbsp of water, reserving one tablespoon for mixing with the tapioca starch.
Simmer on medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring often.
Add in the rest of the frozen berries and cook another 8 minutes, stirring frequently.
Stir the tapioca starch and the remaining tablespoon of cold water together until smooth.
Add to the blueberry mixture and cook a couple of minutes more until thickened and liquid coats the back of a spoon.

Notes

For a smoother compote, you can blend the mixture briefly using an immersion blender or regular blender after cooking.

Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your taste preferences.

This compote can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week or frozen for longer-term storage.
