A couple dashes cinnamon (optional)and if you have it a pinch of cardamom

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine blueberries, water, lemon juice, sugar and spices (if using).
Heat over medium heat until berries begin to burst and juice starts to thicken about 5 minutes.
Remove a few spoonfuls of juice and in a tiny bowl mix that together with the cornstarch, then add it back to the berry mixture, allow it to bubble for a couple minutes, remove from heat.,
Allow the compote to cool (unless you wish to serve warm... not hot.)
When ready to serve your cheesecake, spoon the compote over-top (make a bit of a mound.) Garnish with lemon zest and or lemon triangles or halves and enjoy!!
Notes
This compote is also amazing served over pancakes, in crepes with ice cream or as a topping for ice cream.
