So Mr. Fantabulous is STILL on his nightly Banana Split requirement. Well the other day I was out of strawberries to make my Strawberry Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Topping, which apparently is grounds for a severe stern look and a ‘how could youuuuuuuuuuu???’ whine so I had to think fast.  FORTUNATELY I had just bought 2 pounds of fresh blueberries.  They were so purple and fat (insert image of Violet from Willie Wonka… LOL)  Yeah, I went there and you’re welcome for the image I just pushed in your brain <curtsey>  LOL

I whipped up a batch of this sauce which lemme tell you what is AMAZING not only on ice cream but on pancakes.. (psst.. I have a KILLER lemon coconut oat blueberry pancake recipe on the horizon) and also on chicken.  Yep.. chicken.

This topping was so good; slightly tart as I added some lemon juice to it but you could easily omit.

The flavors though were so deep and rich; almost seductive just like the color of the sauce.

When I made his banana split and used this in lieu of the strawberry topping he LOVED it!  Now to him this isn’t a classic banana split because it didn’t contain the holy trinity of sauces.  This, he said, was ‘elegant’.  LOL

    Simple and easy to make recipe. I did put blueberries in a food processor and chopped just a little before I started. This is so good I decided to cook some and can it. After it was cooked I put in jars and processed it on 5# for 5 minutes. Looks like we will have yummy blueberry sauce for ice cream this winter.
