I’ve made fillings for cupcakes before but never realized what I was making. HAHA I guess they’re called compote… which is technically a mixture of water and fruit in a sugar syrup. D’uh. That’s what I make. With that said, I thought I’d start blogging the compotes separately from the cupcakes or scones I’m using it for since it can be used in so many ways!
This blueberry compote would be excellent over ice cream, on pancakes or waffles or even mixed into yogurt! YUM! You can store it in the refrigerator for about a week so it’ll last for lots of breakfast and desserts! Since you can serve it either warm or cold, the possibilities are endless!
Enjoy!

This looks delicious!!!! How long will it keep in the fridge?
A week or two š As soon as you start to see fuzz grow, it’s time to toss it out!
