Notes
Low Calorie Tips for Cooked Blueberries:
- Use Frozen Berries… There’s something about the defrosting of the blueberries in this recipe that helps the berries release more juice and turn into a sticky, sweet, perfect blueberry syrup.
- Add a Boost of Flavor with Zest… Lemon (or orange!) zest is zero calories and adds a ton of flavor! Add it in after you cook the blueberries.
- Give the Recipe Complexity with Vanilla… Real vanilla extract will help take this from a simple blueberry compote, to a fancy berry sauce. It’s not required, but fun to add from time to time.
