Bonjour! Happy Tuesday evening to all!
So for this tested recipe I did a blueberry pancake topping. I've been buying pints of blueberries at the farmer's market in my town every weekend, so I really wanted to do something with them. They are so delicious at this time of year!
I found this recipe on a website called Hillbilly Housewife (classy, I know). It just one of those small random cooking sites with no pictures or pizzaz, but it gets the job done. After all, it gave me this recipe.
The ingredients go as followed:
-1 cup frozen or fresh blueberries
-1/4 cup cool tap water
-2 teaspoons cornstarch
-2 tablespoons apple or white grape juice concentrate
-Dash nutmeg
-1 tablespoon lemon juice
-Dash salt
Well, get ready for my faux pas:
1. I ditched the salt, not on purpose, but I just did. No big deal, though.
2. I sized-down the recipe, as I often do, but my water measurments were all off.
3. This one is GRAND! It was early in the morning, so I grabbed my ground cinnamon (so I thought), but as you can see in the picture above, it was actually ground CUMIN. I PUT CUMIN IN IT. Luckily I realized it before I mixed it in, so I scraped nearly all of it off and then just ignored the cinnamon in the recipe. All I had were sticks.
JUDGING (1worst-5 Best):
Ease: 3
Time: 3
Taste: 4
I imagine that if I were more awake and alert with making this, it may not have taken as long, but it still requires boiling and simmering time.
