Roasted-Blueberry Compote Recipe

When you find yourself with more blueberries than you know what to do with (not the worst problem to have), pop them in the oven to make a quick jam. In her cookbook Yogurt Culture, Cheryl Sternman Rule sprinkles sugar on plump berries (the bigger, the better; they shrink in the heat) and roasts them to intensify their sweetness. Spoon the finished compote over yogurt, ice cream or pancakes.
