Clean and sort the blueberries. Fillet the grapefruit by halving it and cutting around the edge with a pointed, sharp knife, then again between the ribs. The fillet pieces can now be easily removed. Use a simple juicer to press the remaining juice from the hollowed-out grapefruit halves. Place the blueberries, grapefruit segments, grapefruit juice, sugar, cinnamon, and clove powder in a saucepan. Mix well and let it steep for about 1 hour. Then pour in the fruit juice and simmer for 3 minutes. During this time, mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with a little cold water in a cup until smooth, add to the blueberries, and bring to a boil. Remove the compote from the heat, pour into a bowl, and serve lukewarm or chilled. It tastes great with pancakes, semolina porridge, semolina slices, or vanilla ice cream. The grapefruit adds a slightly more tangy flavor.
