Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- ¼ cup orange juice (or water)
- 1 cup whole-milk plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Place the berries and juice or water into a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the berries start to release their juices and the juices start to thicken. (If using regular blueberries, as opposed to the smaller wild ones, mash gently with a potato masher to help release the juices.) Toward the end of cooking, when you stir with a spatula, you should be able to drag the mixture through the pan and see the bottom briefly.
- Turn off heat and let cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Divide the berries among storage containers. Add honey or maple syrup to sweeten, if desired, and stir.
- Divide the yogurt on top of the berries. Serve cold.
Notes
- Store in airtight storage containers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- I prefer the flavor of wild blueberries for this, but both types will work.
- Mash regular blueberries with the back of a spoon or a potato masher to help release the juices as they cook.
- Omit the honey or maple syrup if desired. Avoid honey for kids under age 12 months.
