Blueberry Sauce

  • We grew up picking wild huckleberries starting in mid-July around our cottages both at Higgins Lake and Bear Lake in northern Michigan. The objective was usually to harvest enough for a fresh huckleberry (or wild blueberry - they look very similar) pie. As an added bonus we enjoyed blueberry pancakes smothered in fresh hot blueberry sauce. Now, we head to Blueberry Lane in Otter Lake and freeze them for winter enjoyment. 

  • Blueberry pancakes with blueberry sauce was our Christmas day breakfast, this year.
