Blueberry Compote is a fancy name for fruit sauce! It can be made with fresh fruit or frozen fruit. It has so many uses too. My favorite way to enjoy blueberry compote is on pancakes. I think it is a perfect accompaniment to my lemon pancakes but it is also delicious on waffles and crepes. It would also be delicious on this pound cake. I also love it over vanilla ice cream.

Blueberry Compote is a nice alternative to syrup. Not as sweet and sugary although there is definitely sugar in it. There are so many possibilities for ways to use blueberry compote! It just makes everything taste better and looks fancier and only takes minutes to put together.
