Ingredients

  • 4 cups frozen wild blueberries no need to defrost (fresh blueberries will also work)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup or honey more to taste
  • Pinch of fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly-squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients except lemon juice in a medium saucepan.  Heat over medium low stirring frequently until berries get syrupy and begin to break down, about 8-10 minutes.  Remove from the heat.  Stir in lemon juice.  Once the compote has cooled, transfer it to a jar and store in the fridge until ready to use (it will keep in the fridge for about two weeks or in the freezer for a couple of months).
