Although you can buy Blueberries all year round they taste the best when they are in season. The season only last for a couple weeks before this juicy berry is gone until next season and that is why my husband tries to savoir this little blue berry as much as he can.

One of my favourite things to make with fruit is compote/sauce. It is simple, quick does not heat the house up during the hot summer and you can use it for so many things. In our house we mainly use sauce/compote for ice cream however our neighbours enjoy theirs on pancakes. How will you enjoy yours?
