All Purpose Blueberry Sauce

Submitted by foodtvfan

"A tasty blueberry sauce made with honey instead of sugar. Excellent with crepes, pancakes, French toast, waffles, ice cream, cheesecake, sponge cake, or pound cake. I usually use bottled lemon juice because that is what I have available most of the time."

Perfect! I was a little concerned that the sauce would be too tart but it definitely wasn't. I made to serve over French Toast on Christmas morning. However, I would make this for an ice-cream topping, too.

We had this in crepes, over ice cream and used the rest in a smoothie mixture!! It is great ... I was a bit concerned because sometimes honey can overpower things but not with this sauce. We will make this again.

My favorite thing to do is to spend time with family and friends, especially my two grandsons. Cooking, collecting recipe books and tried and true recipes from family and friends, and all the wonderful cooks here at food.com, is what I enjoy too. My favorite sayings are:  Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, and Today is a gift; that is why it is called the 'present'. <img title=Smile src=/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-smile.gif border=0 alt=Smile />  and  Remember yesterday, dream about tomorrow, but live for today. <img title=Smile src=/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-smile.gif border=0 alt=Smile />  My favorite poem is: Common Things The things I prize of greatest worth, Are just the common things of earth; the rain, the sun, the grass, the trees; The flowers, the birds, the glorious breeze; Clouds that pass, and stars that shine, Mountains, valleys, all are mine; Rivers broad, and open sea Are riches none can take from me. Our God is here on every hand, Upon the sea, upon the land! And day by day my thanks I give That with these common things I live. ....Praying Hands My pet peeve is people who spit gum on the sidewalk even if there is a trash bin a few feet away!! I have stepped in 'fresh' gum a couple of times!!  <img src=http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg alt=/ /> <img src=http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/Other/tagforpage1.jpg alt=/ />
