Alpha Gal Friendly Gluten Free Blueberry Compote
Bright, jammy, and bursting with fresh fruit flavor, this blueberry compote is the kind of simple recipe that earns a permanent spot in your kitchen rotation. Every ingredient here is completely plant-based and naturally free from mammalian meat byproducts, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden animal-derived additives sneaking in. The lemon zest and fresh lemon juice stirred in at the end add a citrusy lift that keeps the sweetness from feeling heavy or one-note. Pressing a third of the berries against the pan is a clever little trick that gives the compote a gorgeous, thick texture without any thickeners or additives. Spoon it warm over pancakes, waffles, or a bowl of oatmeal, or let it cool and swirl it into yogurt for an easy, satisfying treat. It stores beautifully in a jar, so making a batch ahead means you always have something delicious and safe on hand.
