In a small saucepan, cook the sweetened condensed milk over low for about 15 minutes, stirring continuously, until it is a light brown. Whisk in the orange puree, then cook for another 5 minutes reserve.
In a medium bowl combine the blueberries, lemon, and sugar. Smash the blueberries lightly with a spoon. Let sit for at least 15 minutes or up to one day under refrigeration.
