Boxed pancake batter or homemade pancake mix can be used for this zesty lemon and blueberry flavored pancake and sauce!
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup Bonne Maman Wild Blueberry Preserves, plus 1 tablespoon for the batter
- 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice, plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice for the batter
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries, reserve a few for garnish
- 1/4 cup fresh chopped mint, reserve 1 tablespoon for the batter, plus a few sprigs for garnish
- 2 cups prepared pancake batter of choice
Instructions
- To a small saucepan, add the preserves, lemon juice, zest and blueberries. Bring to a slow boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 - 7 minutes. Add the mint and stir. Set aside.
- To the prepared pancake batter, add the blueberry preserves, lemon juice, zest and the mint. Blend and pour 1/4 cup into a greased medium non-stick skillet. Cook the pancake according to the package directions until all of the batter is used up.
- Serve the pancakes immediately with the zest wild blueberry sauce, a sprig of mint and a few fresh blueberries. Enjoy!
Notes
I chose a light and healthy pancake mix that called for skim or almond milk and egg whites. Adding the Bonne Maman Wild Blueberry Preserves and lemon brought these light pancakes to life! Note: substitute frozen blueberries that are brought to room temperature for the fresh blueberries. I love Bonne Maman's raspberry preserves as well and I'm sure that can be substituted along with fresh raspberries should you not like blueberries. Happy pancaking!
