First, I'll apologize for the lack of posts here these past few weeks. It seems that many Blogger blogs have had their photos disappear over the last month and my blog has been no exception. I've got all but a few posts fixed with the photos added back in, but it's hard to get motivated to share new posts when you don't know if your hard work will just get erased again in a few days :( (Time to move to WordPress??)
With that said, hopefully I'll be back to regular posts by next week. For today though, I want to share a great compote recipe that will surely bring a smile to mom's face this upcoming Mother's Day. I know that my favorite gift on Mother's Day has always been breakfast in bed, especially since I love food that I don't have to make myself. Pancakes are usually most welcome, and if they are topped with fruit, all the better. And that's why I thought this Orange-Strawberry Compote recipe from Golden Blossom Honey would be a keeper for a special breakfast this year.
Mom doesn't like pancakes? No problem! This compote enhances more than just a triple stack. Use it on waffles, oatmeal, or yogurt for breakfast. Or, use it for dessert instead. It will taste so good served over angel food cake, on a cheesecake, or mixed into a light and fluffy mousse. Mom deserves a little sweetness in her life, so no matter what direction you go, make sure she gets a huge serving of this yummy compote this year!
Ingredients
2 naval oranges, peeled and white pith cut away1 pint strawberries, hulled and sliced
1/2 cup GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom

If you like this recipe, be sure to come back every Friday, where I feature a new recipe from Golden Blossom Honey!
What's your favorite pancake topping?
How do you put photos here, deary, directly by uploading them here on Blogger, or through outside links?
ReplyDeleteHow is naval orange different from ordinary orange?
Pancakes here are actually crepes, usually stuffed with apricot jam, or walnuts and sugar, or some chocolate spread. I ate them usually with cinammon and sugar, but I'm not crazy about them. If I was to make pancakes again in my life, I'd probably make some with white chocolate, cherries and whipped cream.
I upload them directly to Blogger from my computer.
DeleteI suppose they were just being technical with the name navel so one doesn't choose a blood orange, nectarine or clementine in the recipe (though I think any of those varieties would work too!)
I don't like making crepes because I tend to burn the thin batter or it falls apart. We did have some in Paris and they were tres yummy! I think they came be made savory too, no?
They can. The first crepe to be fried always burns or falls apart, but the rest should be OK just use a non sticky pan or, as we do here, an old cast iron one, oiled for each crepe.
DeleteThe recipe is 200g soft flour, 2 eggs, 1dcl sunflower oil, 3dcl milk, a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of sugar. Ad a bit of water in needed, it needs to be liquidy. Leave for about 20 minutes, and then mix again with a spoon and fry on high temp. Some like to mix one half milk, one half mineral water. Each side takes about a minute.
Maybe I'll try again soon then. Or, I'll have Allison try her hand at it. She seems to be in the kitchen more these days trying to keep her mind busy.
DeleteIs it weird that I don't like pancakes or waffles? But I do like fruit and honey :)
ReplyDeleteThe photo thing was weird. I noticed it on a few other blogs and it did the same thing to the post in my draft section.
Not weird at all! We all have our likes and dislikes where our taste buds are concerned :)
DeleteI think it has only been the last month of posts that have been affected by the missing photos. I hope they do a fix real soon or I'm going to start the process of moving everything over to WordPress.
Your experience of losing photos on the blog is also experienced by many bloggers in other countries, including in my country.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what the cause.
Your processed pancakes look very yummy ..
It's so frustrating with the photos. I'm not sure what the cause is, but fingers crossed they get it fixes asap.
DeleteThank you for your lovely compliment on the pancakes :)
Yes.
DeleteI also really hope that the photo disappearance in that article should not be repeated.
So annoying.
Your welcome, Theresa.
Have a nice day
Yum! Those are my two favorite fruits. I'll admit, I'm more of a chocolate chip pancake gal, but these look tasty.
ReplyDeleteChocolate chip is great too. M&M's is what my girls usually go for though.
DeleteThose pancakes look like a breakfast fit for a king. I rarely cook in the mornings but this would be an exception my family would love.
ReplyDeleteI rarely cook for breakfast too. Maybe I'll get a spark in me to do it on a weekend every now and again, but it's usually fend for yourselves in the morning.
DeleteOrange strawberry is such a good combo!
ReplyDeleteIt really is :)
DeleteANY fruit topping I'm ok with. I'd probably stick with mostly berries, but I like lemon pancakes and would eat these too.
ReplyDeleteHeck you know me, I'd even add dandelion petals to mine. Ha!
If you try dandelion pancakes, please share the recipe :)
DeleteI hopped to a few Word Press blogs including Neko Random. My comments disappear and it's not an easy process to comment. Have you had similar experiences? My favorite pancake topping is butter, because I'm boring. :)
ReplyDeleteButter is my favorite too. Lots and lots of it, please!
DeleteThese look amazing! What a perfect breakfast. Or anytime, really. We love breakfast for dinner!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeletePancakes for breakfast are a delicious treat. Having it made by the kids on Mother's Day would be ideal!
ReplyDeleteAny food mom doesn't have to make is ideal, I think LOL
DeleteA good topping can help, although as you know I'm rather bland.
ReplyDeleteNever knew there were glitches about. Blah to wordpress though, that has just as many if not more. Pain in the arse.
Good to know that Wordpress isn't so fab either. The glitch does seem to be fixed so we'll wait and see if it messes up again. For now, we'll stick with blogger.
DeleteYummyyyyy! I love pancakes Theresa and the twins too!! These look delicious!!
ReplyDeleteTake care dear !!
Thank you Gloria!
DeleteYummo this pancakes look fantastic, love the idea of using a compote instead of syrup.
ReplyDeletethank you!
DeleteI was looking for a good brand of honey and found this. I will have to check this brand and get me a bottle.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it. It's my favorite!
DeleteI have never tried to make compote. This looks really tasty!
ReplyDeleteYou should try! It's so easy!
DeleteNow that's what I want for breakfast today. Yum! Good thing I have strawberries. Yes! -LYNNDEE
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy it Lynndee!
DeleteThat looks really good. I love pancakes.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mary :)
DeleteOh my this looks so wonderful! Oranges and strawberries make such a tasty combination 🧡
ReplyDeleteNothing better than warm pancakes in the morning! Love this recipe.
ReplyDeleteI love how you can switch up toppings on pancakes. This particular one sounds perfect and so refreshing!
ReplyDeleteYummy! We often have strawberries with pancakes but love the citrus combination here will have to give that a try!
ReplyDeleteOh boy, I haven't been able to check my blog in awhile. I hope my pics are gone. I am sorry that happened to you. :( I love orange mixed with other fruits. This looks and sounds delicious.
ReplyDeletehmm..this should have said I hope my pics are NOT gone. ;) Thankfully they were not. I am loving your new travel posts!! I thought my desire to travel was gone (virus running rampant) but I can still feel the nudge in there. I will be glad when it is safe to travel again.
DeleteI think blogger finally restored the pics, so if your blog was affected, it should be fine by now. I never fixed the last 3 posts that needed it here and it's finally restored.
DeleteGirl, I am itching to travel so bad. I'm glad we got to hit up the west coast before things got bad here, but I was so looking forward to a trip somewhere this summer. *sigh* Hopefully things will be better by next summer and we can get out there and see the world again ♥
Whew! AMAZING! My kids LOVE all kinds of fun toppings on their pancakes. But I've never tried it with mixed fruits and honey before. Guess I will now have to give my kids this as a try.
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for fruit, so this stack of pancakes looks amazing! Can't wait to try them!
ReplyDeleteSimply WOW! Great recipe and it's my kind of breakfast to have. Love the presentation and just looking at it makes me entice for it. I'll definitely make this at home.
ReplyDeleteThank you Gervin :)
DeleteI am drooling over these pancakes! I need to make them!
ReplyDeleteSorry to read about the photos. Wordpress .... ? Is that a way you're thinking of going? I love strawberries and orange. So yum.
ReplyDeleteNow that blogger is fixed, if it stays fixed, I'll stick around. If not, it might be worthwhile to move everything over to wordpress. I'm just tired of the issues blogger seems to e having these days.
