Florida Blueberry Pancakes Compote and Blueberry Cream - Florida Blueberry Pancakes

This post was sponsored by Fresh From Florida as part of Influencer Activation for Influence Central.
 
Earlier this month, I introduced you to the food educational campaign by the Florida Department of Agriculture called “Fresh From Florida”.  The program is aimed at promoting locally grown Florida produce and fresh seafood, while educating the public about the seasonal produce that comes out of the state. I was excited to team up with the group since I actually rarely know where my own food comes from… a sad, but common reality amongst many home cooks.  The wonderful thing about buying Florida produce is that it supports local farms and small business, while promoting U.S. commerce and healthy living. A win, win, win!
 
On top of all the deliciousness, the Fresh of Florida campaign has a ton of resources on their website, including recipes. Yes, oh yes, they have a bunch of mouth-watering recipes utilizing the fruits of the land (and water!). I thought I would try my hand at one of these delectable treats and see how I fared with the state’s produce. Naturally I picked the most decadent dish I could find on the website – Florida Blueberry Pancakes featuring Blueberry Compote, Honey Butter, and Blueberry Cream.  So, this last weekend I whipped up a batch of this fabulous breakfast and made sure to thoroughly document the process… before me and my family inevitably scarfed down the whole lot at the blink of an eye.
 
As an extra special treat, I tried my hand at my first ever recipe tutorial video while making the Blueberry Cream recipe. Be kind, internet family, this is my inaugural film and clearly a lightyear away from the Tastemade series. But hey, does Tastemade create recipe tutorials with a 9 month old on their hip? I think not! Alright, enough of my blabbering. Let’s get down to business!
 
Florida Blueberry Cream
 
 Let us start off with the almost literal “cherry on top”. This cream is not only a delightful topper for your pancakes, it would go well with just about any dessert. And dare I say, it would make for a kick-ass coffee creamer. Beware, this recipe makes a serious amount of cream so you will probably have a lot of leftovers. Follow along with the video tutorial or grab the recipe card below.
 

FLORIDA BLUEBERRY CREAM
 
 
INGREDIENTS
  1. 2 cups fresh Florida blueberries
  2. 1 lemon, juiced
  3. 6 tablespoons sugar, divided
  4. ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  5. 2 cups heavy whipping cream
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine blueberries, 3 tablespoons sugar, salt and lemon juice.
  2. Place the pan over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer while stirring.
  3. Cook blueberry compote for 6 to 10 minutes until thickened.
  4. Let cool slightly and puree in a food processor or blender. Strain blueberry mixture through a sieve and refrigerate until cool.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, whisk cream and 3 tablespoons of sugar until soft peaks form.
  6. Add the blueberry mixture and carefully fold in, making sure not to over-mix.
 

Florida Blueberry Pancakes with Blueberry Compote - Florida Blueberry Pancakes Florida Blueberry Pancakes The Fresh From Florida campaign does not screw around with their pancakes! This dangerously yummy recipe takes the flattened goodness to a whole new level using ricotta cheese. These are absolutely delectable, but note that in order to get them cooked through the outside of the pancake might be a little more cooked than preferred. Try them out and let me know what you think.
