FRESH BLUEBERRY COMPOTE RECIPE

Steps:

• Add blueberries, maple syrup and lemon juice to a medium saucepan and stir to combine. Farm Girl Tip: My recommendation is to add half to 3/4 of the lemon juice and then taste after it's cooked for a few minutes. If you want to use the rest of the lemon juice, add it at that time.
• Heat over medium heat and bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of water and 1 tablespoon cornstarch to make a slurry. Stir until smooth, then gently told into the pan with the blueberries, taking care not to crush them.
• Cook, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes until the mixture is reduced and thickened. (It should coat the back of a spoon).
• Remove from heat and add vanilla extract, lemon zest and a pinch of salt.

BLUEBERRY OR BLACKBERRY COMPOTE WITH YOGURT OR RICOTTA

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except cornstarch dissolved in water and ricotta or yogurt in a saucepan. Add 1 tablespoon water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer until blueberries release their juices and blackberries begin to break apart, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally from time to time.
• Stir in dissolved cornstarch and stir until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and allow to cool, or serve warm, spooned over yogurt or ricotta. Alternative method: I use this method with blackberries, since as they break down more: Toss the berries in a bowl with 2 tablespoons organic sugar. Cover and refrigerate overnight. The next day, add 1 more tablespoon sugar, honey or agave nectar if desired and proceed with step 1 of the recipe.

PORRIDGE WITH BLUEBERRY COMPOTE

• Meanwhile, tip the blueberries into a pan with 1 tbsp water and the honey if using and gently poach until the blueberries have thawed and they are tender, but still holding their shape.
• Spoon the porridge into bowls, top with the remaining yogurt and spoon over the blueberries.

SAVORY RICH BLUEBERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Once you've finished cooking your cut of meat (chicken, pork, steak), remove it from the skillet and set it aside to rest. Over medium heat, add wine, broth, and oil to the skillet, use a stiff spatula to scrape the brown bits off the pan bottom, and heat for about 2 minutes or until simmering. With a non-reactive spoon, stir in shallot, celery, thyme and zest and cook until vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes, adding more broth if mixture begins to lose moisture too quickly. Then stir in garlic, salt, and pepper, and saute' until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Next stir or whisk in preserves, vinegar, sugar, mustard, and berries, and cook until about half of the berries burst and mixture is bubbling, about 10 minutes. Lower fire slightly and simmer until compote thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Stir in butter slowly until melted. Serve over your cut of choice. The juice released in your mouth by the whole berries is such a nice, decadent surprise.
