Add the lemon juice to your other ingredients in the medium pot, and stir with a wooden spoon.

Cook over medium heat about 10 minutes, until blueberries have broken down slightly and the liquid has reduced by about half.

Optional: If you want to make a smooth sauce to be used for plating desserts, transfer the compote to a blender and blend until smooth, adding a small amount more water if needed to reach desired consistency.
