How to Replace Waffle Syrup With Fruit

A good hot breakfast is very important to start your day. It is also a special occasion when a favorite recipe is made. Most people, kids and adults alike enjoy waffles at breakfast. There are some ways to liven up even those special times. Especially when in season it is a change of pace to replace the same old waffle syrup with fresh fruit or a fruit medley.

Things You'll Need

• Selection of in season fruits or frozen fruits
• Sugar or Splenda (for the weight conscious)
• Refrigerator
• Bowl

Instructions

1. Prepare at least 2 hours ahead of time sliced or chopped fresh seasonal fruit. If fruit is not in season, then thaw frozen fruit in a bowl. Any fruit should be suitable, but a selection of fruits is best or a blend of fruits would also work.

2. Take the prepared fruits and sprinkle a small amount of sugar or Splenda over the top of the fruits. Approximately 1 tsp. per 1 to 1-1/2 cups of fruit. Stir the fruit well, cover and place in the refrigerator to allow the juices to collect and mix with the sugar to form a type of syrup.

3. Remove the fruit from the refrigerator and pour into a serving dish and place on the table.

4. Prepare the waffles and keep heated in the oven on low temperature until all waffles are cooked.

5. Serve the waffles on the table and call the family for breakfast.

Tips & Warnings

• Other items that will make the meal special are to serve a few additional items to top the waffles, such as chopped pecans, powdered sugar to sprinkle on top or whipped cream.
