Blueberry Compote for Blueberry & Granola Yoghurt Pots
I have granola with yoghurt and fruit for breakfast every day in summer. My hubby does too, so I love to make these little prepared yoghurt pots for him to take to work. Fruit compotes are such a great way to use frozen fruit or even fresh fruit that you have in bulk. I hate food waste as you know, so I love finding ways of using produce before it goes bad. Frozen fruit is also a great way to enjoy your favourite fruit when it’s not in season. So I like to stock up when it is.
Not only is this Blueberry Compote perfect to add to yoghurt pots or breakfast parfaits, but it’s such a convenient item to have on hand when you want a delicious dessert. Just pop some on your favourite vanilla ice cream. You can also sprinkle over a little granola or roasted nuts for a little crunch.
Blueberry compote is made with only 3 ingredients. Fresh or frozen blueberries, honey and lemon juice. That’s it. Let it bubble away until it thickens, then pop it in a jar or bowl in the fridge to cool. And it’s ready to use for whatever you wish. And if you don’t like or have blueberries, you can substitute it with any other berry. In fact most fruits would work.
For the Blueberry & Granola Yoghurt pots, all you need is plain yoghurt, granola and blueberry compote. Feel free to add some fresh blueberries and a drizzle of honey as I did.
