Paleo Blueberry Compote: one easy sauce, used many different ways
I’m on a roll with easy sauces, first my Toasted Coconut Butter, now this easy blueberry compote. What I love about sauces like this is that they add a burst of flavor to every meal. This low carb blueberry compote is a great way to preserve your blueberries — buy in bulk and make a big batch!
A couple of ways you can enjoy this 2-ingredient blueberry compote:
- With pork roast or with chicken! Yes, blueberry compote is great on savory dishes!
- On toast or crepes or pancakes — it’s a wonderful real food syrup alternative!
- Mix into dairy free yogurt and add nuts for a parfait experience!

How to customize this paleo blueberry compote
You can keep this compote paleo and leave the sweetener out if you want, if the berries are really sweet you don’t really need it. Otherwise, I’ve added some optional add ins that will take this sweetness to the next level and really develop the flavors.
Adding a little bit of vanilla and some orange zest really complements the natural brightness of blueberries. You can customize the sweetness by adding keto-friendly stevia, and achieve your desired thickness by adding gelatin. Check out the notes in the recipe box for measurements.
Blueberries = antioxidants
Antioxidants protect your body from free radicals, unstable molecules that can damage your cells and contribute to disease like cancer. (source)

Thank you for this easy recipe! Almost all other recipes I looked up had a ridiculous amount of sugar added. Which is so unnecessary because blueberries are naturally sweet already. My husband and our son love this on their waffles with a little bit of whipped cream 🙂
