½-⅔cupsugar, or to taste depending on the sweetness of the berries
Instructions
Combine blueberries, lemon juice, and half a cup of sugar in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until blueberries are wilted and soft--this may take 5 or 6 minutes. Continue to cook on medium 4-5 minutes beyond that, or until the amount of juices and blueberries are about equal. Taste. Compote should be pleasantly sweet, but the sugar shouldn't overrule the tartness of the lemon and the flavor of the berries. Add a little more sugar if needed and stir to dissolve. Cool and store in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
