1/4 cup lemon juice |
1/4 cup maple syrup |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
1/4 cup unsalted butter |
2 large bananas, sliced |
serving suggestion: blueberry buttermilk pancakes, recipe follows |
Directions:
1. In a stainless steel pot combine the orange and lemon juice and boil for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the maple syrup and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter.Cool slightly and add the sliced bananas. Keep warm but do not boil again.*
2. *Cook's Note: The butter will separate if the compote is boiled and result in a grainy texture.

14. In a large bowl sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
15. Beat the eggs with the buttermilk and melted butter. Combine the dry and the wet ingredients into a lumpy batter, being careful not to over mix, see Cook's Note*.
16. Heat some butter in a skillet over medium heat. Spoon 1/3 cup of batter into the skillet and sprinkle the top with some of the blueberries. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
