you can make a compote....let's say you have a can of blueberries or cherries......as for recipes, i have but this will be more of a custom recipe based on your experience. the recipes that i have are from the curriculum and are very seasonal so it's kinda hard to adapt to philippine setting.

so can of blueberries.........
==strain
==collect lliquid and set aside a small amount and mix cornstarch to it, you may add water if there's barely enough liquid
===heat liquid, add sugar, then the cornstarch slurry
===[consistency check.....heat management....] you want a consistency that's not too thick or too thin.....and that is managed by heat.
=== add the zest **if you add too soon and heat it, flavor loss** then the fruits, mix gently as to not ruin the shapes, then there you have it, nice compote for glazing.

if you can find frozen blueberries *i remember they have in market2* then recipe would change slightly. you will have to sacrifice some berries to get their juice, add little bit of water then simmer the berries then follow the rest of the step.

any clarifications or "WTF did yo say?!?? what?!?!" just ask. i
