It’s Summertime and blueberry season! What better way to enjoy some fresh juicy blueberries than on top of pancakes. This blueberry basil sauce is fast and easy to make. The prep and cook time is less than twenty minutes total. Fruit compote is amazing served right away as a warm runny sauce but if you prefer a thicker sauce make it the night before. As the sauce chills in the fridge overnight it will thicken.

We love using locally grown fruit when it’s in season. Frozen berries can also be used when out of season. Have you ever been to a local farm where you can pick the berries yourself? Berry picking is a fun family friendly outdoor activity. To find a local U-Pick farm near you try this website. I have found it to be a helpful resource in supporting local farmers.

Blueberry basil fruit compote is the perfect topping! It’s great on pancakes and who doesn’t love pancakes? If you don’t love pancakes I’m not sure we can be friends. But this sauce also works served on homemade biscuits, cakes, ice cream, and other deserts. Can you imagine this sauce drizzled over vanilla ice cream? What a decadent fresh summer treat! How are you using our sauce? I would love to see your ideas!
