Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to cook blueberry compote? Prepare your food. You can use blueberries either fresh or frozen. Even a small amount of berries will give a rich color and taste. Since blueberries taste a little bland, I always add 2-3 slices of citrus fruit to the compote. Or a tangerine, or a lemon, an orange, whatever. Citrus fruits do not interrupt the taste and smell of blueberries, but successfully complement and enrich it.

Step 2

Step 2
Bring the required amount of water to a boil, add sugar, stir until it dissolves. It is better to take a saucepan from stainless steel; it will not oxidize and will be easier to clean. Blueberry juice is a very strong dye and will leave blackness on the enamel, which is extremely difficult to wash off.

Step 3

Step 3
If the blueberries are fresh, carefully sort and rinse them. I cooked from frozen berries; just rinse them under cold water without defrosting. Since they freeze it without washing it, but only sort out the debris.

Step 4

Step 4
The compote cooks very quickly over intense heat. Add blueberries after the sugar; they will immediately color the water.

Step 5

Step 5
Wash the tangerine or other citrus well, cut it into slices without peeling and add it to the compote. You can add citric acid on the tip of a knife or leave just blueberries, it’s a matter of taste. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover the compote with a lid and leave to simmer for 5 minutes. Then remove from the heat and leave to steep. I leave it until it cools completely.

Step 6

Step 6
Strain the cooled compote through a sieve or cheesecloth, pour into a glass container for storage in the refrigerator. A well-steeped and cold compote will be much tastier than a warm one. Bon appetit!
