The Washington Post, November 21, 2004
  • Course: Condiment
  • Features: Holiday (Thanksgiving)

Summary:

To be used as a dipping sauce with Eggnog Bread Pudding Bites.

Makes about 1 cup

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 pint blueberries

Directions:

In a saute pan, bring the maple syrup and water to a boil. Add the blueberries and cook just until they start to burst, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat; set aside to cool for at least 10 minutes.

Pour the blueberry mixture into a blender and process or just use the back of a fork to mash it. Strain the sauce, if desired, to make it smooth. Serve at room temperature.
