  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth.
  5. Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering blueberry mixture. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the compote has thickened to your desired consistency.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving warm over pancakes, French toast, or ice cream.
