5-Minute Low-Sugar Blueberry Compote

Most compotes and jams are LOADED with added sugar…to the point you wonder, where’s the fruit?  This 5-Minute Low-Sugar Blueberry Compote has only 1 tablespoon of added sugar in the entire batch, but it still sweet and delicious!  Stir into plain Greek-style yogurt, spoon onto a stack of pancakes, drizzle over open-faced peanut butter toast, or eat with a spoon (I won’t tell 😉)
