Blueberry Compote With Coriander

Science alert: Blueberries and coriander play particularly well together because they both contain the flavor terpene linalool, also found in thyme and lavender. Choose either fresh or frozen berries; both work equally well here since blueberries’ natural pectin help thicken this syrupy topping as they cook down. Serve spooned over yogurt or on toast, or top it with whipped cream for a breezy dessert.
