berries are in!

although i buy a lot of frozen berries over the winter months, when they're fresh and in season, it's very exciting. this morning i made whole wheat pancakes with berry compote and scrambled eggs.

pancakes made easy thanks to krusteaz mix (i read the ingredient list and wasn't completely horrified, so i took the easy way with the mix).

berry compote:
1 pint blueberries, rinsed
1 pint raspberries, rinsed
1 pint strawberries, rinsed and sliced
1/2 cup water
3 tbsp sugar

simmer and reduce down to a sauce-like consistency. i thickened mine with a bit of cornstarch so it wasn't so runny. i think i added too much water... i don't actually measure things, my recipes are just guesses on the measurements! :)

  1. just used the left over berry compote over vanilla bean ice cream! i recommend the double churned or soy ice cream, they're a lot lower in fat and calories and delicious!
