When it comes to cooking, I’m my own worst critic. It’s hard for me to be impressed by much. This morning was an exception. We were doing our typical weekend brunch with the guys who live upstairs. Frequently, I’ll make bananas foster pancakes. Nothing is better than bananas sauteed in butter, brown sugar, and some rum. But today, I wanted to do something a little lighter, so I made a blueberry saunce. And it couldn’t have been easier.
In a small sauce pan, I combined a half pint of blueberries (I used fresh, but frozen would work just as well), about a third of a cup of sugar ,the zest and juice of one lemon. And I let that simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring often. It reduced and thickened beautifully, and it was fabulous on top of pancakes.
