Today's Activity: Make homemade blueberry topping
You'll need:
1c blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1T raw sugar or honey
1/4c water
1tsp butter
salt to taste
blender
small pot
What to do: Place blueberries, sugar, water, and salt in a blender and puree until smooth - about 1 minute. Pour mixture into a small pot and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and mix the butter into the warm topping. Pour over pancakes or add some to oatmeal.
Note: The blueberry puree does not need to be cooked, it can be eaten raw. Leave out the butter and salt and use just enough water for processing. Serve right away.
Tip: Leftover blueberry puree can be used to flavor your milk or plain yogurt.
