Moving into Blueberry Season ~



Saturday we were gifted organic blueberries from the Harriets Bluff Farm booth which was at the Fernandina Market.  Beyond YUM!  We couldn't resist popping a few in our mouth right at market.  I am thrilled that blueberry season is back.  I don't think anything beats eating them fresh!

However, Sunday night I got a hankering for pancakes.  What comes next....blueberry sauce!  Here's our old family standby recipe, plus a great waffle recipe.

Blueberry Sauce
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1/3 cup water
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

In saucepan, combine sugar & cornstarch.  Gradually stir in water. 
Add blueberries; bring to boil over medium heat.  Stir until thickened.
Yield: 2 cups


Delicious Oatmeal Waffles
2 eggs
2 cups buttermilk
1 cup quick oats
1 Tbsp molasses
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda

Combine eggs & buttermilk. Mix in oats. Stir in molasses & oil.  Mix flour, salt, baking soda & baking powder in a separate bowl.  Then, add to mixture.  Fry on waffle iron.
