Easy blueberry compote
This quick and easy blueberry compote is made using frozen blueberries and chia seeds to thicken it up. The chia seeds made it into a thicker, spreadable consistency so it works well as a healthier alternative to jam as well. No added sugar.
Ingredients
- 400 g frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Place 400g blueberries into a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Add a tablespoon of water to stop them from sticking, stir well and cover with a lid.
