Instructions

Step 1

To a medium pot set over medium heat, add half of the blueberries and the sugar, lemon juice, and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries break down and the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining blueberries and cook until they burst, about 2 minutes more. Serve immediately, or cool completely and store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Step 2

Stir in the remaining blueberries, and cook, stirring, until they burst open, about 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat and serve immediately or let cool completely and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
