Blueberry Vanilla Compote

Blueberry Vanilla Compote
A one-pot wonder that perks up those Sunday morning pancakes.
It makes the house smell heavenly and the color is just as intoxicating as the scent.  Perfect on waffles and buttered toast too. If you love blueberries as much as I do you will be eating this delicious compote with a spoon!

Ingredients:
2 cups of fresh Blueberries
2/3 cup of organic sugar
Zest of one lemon
Juice of one lemon
1 tsp. of Vanilla extract 

Steps:
1. Pick a small stainless steel sauce pan.  Use stainless because blueberries do stain. 
2. Put all of the ingredients in the pan.
3. Stir all of the ingredients together before turning on the heat.
4. Turn the burner on low and let the mixture simmer low and slow with NO lid..
5. Stir occasionally every few minutes for about 30 to 45 minutes.
6. Blueberries will burst and syrup will thicken and the juice will evaporate making it a nice thick texture.  Not as thick as a jam and not as thin as a syrup.  A compote.
7. Let syrup cool in pan before transferring to a glass jar or serving dish.
8.  Serve with pancakes and a little sour cream mixed with sugar. DELISH!!!
