Allergy-Friendly Blueberry Compote
This Blueberry Compote is packed with antioxidants, vitamins C, A and E and magnesium. But health benefits aside, it is sublimely delicious. Just perfect for when blueberries are in season.
For adults, take it to the next level with the quarter cup of creme de cassis. But for kids, subbing water will also still be wonderful. This dessert is an easy, healthful close to a dinner. Photo: Chris Gonzaga
