Blueberry compote for winter
Description
Winter preserves made at home. I prefer to make compote with apples added, because blueberries don’t have a strong flavor of their own. But if you have picked or bought a large amount of blueberries, you can make compote using the recipe below without adding apples. Store in a cool, dark place.
