I love fresh fruit and it’s sorta depressing when Summer is over since the veggies & fruit won’t be as fresh. The good news is that I try to freeze & preserve as much as I can through the summer so that I can still enjoy these goodies even in the Winter.
By freezing these blueberries they are just as good as the day I froze them & full of all the health benefits they offer, now while I can’t eat them raw (I mean I guess I could), I’d rather incorporate them into “unhealthier” things! This blueberry sauce is one of those things I love making.
It’s easy to make & is super quick. Once it’s cooled down you can spread it over pancakes my personal favorite, or a sweet treat like vanilla ice cream.
The only downfall is that you have to eat it within a week or so, once it starts congealing or thickening up it’s not much of a sauce anymore. It’d make a great gift for friends & family this Christmas, make breakfast for the family & surprise them with this delcious addition.
