Easy to Make Instant Pot Blueberry Compote

This Instant Pot blueberry compote is so easy to make, and you’ll make this a part of your new breakfast addition. Classic compote recipes include large amounts of white sugar, but this version relies on a more modest amount of real maple syrup for a bit of sweetness. Although this recipe uses fresh blueberries, lemon juice, and cinnamon, feel free to add any combination of fresh berries, citrus juice, and seasonings to create your own tasty flavor variations.

This blueberry compote goes fabulous over waffles, pancakes, and so much more. You can even pour over a fabulous pork tenderloin if you want. If you make my Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats recipe, then you can EASILY add this on as a fabulous topping.

Can I use other Fruits to Make a Compote?

You totally can! However, I would keep it to the berry family: Raspberries, blackberries, mulberries, etc. Those will work best as replacement fruits!

  1. This recipe is exactly what I was looking for this morning. I have a quart of beautiful fresh blueberries that have been around for a few days and really need to be used. All the other recipes I found for blueberry jam or compote had lots of sugar! I knew I could trust you to come up with a WW friendly recipe. Oh, and by the way, I saw that your cookbook is out and I just ordered it on Amazon! Your recipes are always amazing.
