My DS and DD loved this sauce on their waffles. I have to go along with them, it is really delicious and the lemon really brings the flavor of the blueberries out. I have used this as a staple in my house after making it several months ago, and will continue to make it. It's that good! -
Thanks for a wonderful recipe! 5 stars. -
I halved the recipe to make one pint. The syrup was great tasting over our waffles with whipped cream! I look forward to making this many more times!
