I loved this recipe, and it’s healthy as well as delicious! A couple of small changes I made were to use fresh blueberries from the grocery. Also, I only used one tablespoon of lemon juice and added a dash of salt. It is fabulous on lemon pound cake. Enjoy!
Valerie Ortiz
Delicious! Used recipe both on waffles and cheesecake with some freshly picked berries and oranges.
Pamela James

Andrew Chase
Excellent, easy, turned out as described.

I tripled this recipe and made some modifications based on what I had. It made 12 large waffles. Don’t eat eggs so I used 3 flax eggs (ground flax + water). Used 1 cup AP flour and 2 cups bread flour when I ran out of AP. We are a waffles family so I made this into a waffle mix by doubling sugar and fat (but used unsweetened applesauce instead of double fat because that would have been an LOT of butter). The flavor was great with a hint of lemon but not overpowering – I might put more zest or use fresh lemon juice in the future. I made it with the blueberry citrus compote recipe from this same site and it was DELICIOUS! Would def make again, especially if I have extra ricotta I have to finish.

Made a half recipe for 2 people. Brown sugar is in the ingredient list but not the instructions. Even though I did add the brown sugar, this sauce came out very tart and too thick to spread. Then I mixed it 50/50 with pancake syrup and it was ok. We ate it all so as not to waste but I would not make it again.
Kathryn Moyer
Very tasty and easy to make.
Glenn Thomas
Super easy! I didn’t have oj so used pineapple juice instead and I didn’t use white cane sugar I substituted coconut sugar. Great easy treat to compliment weekly pancakes.
Adrian Roberts
This is a great recipe. Just the right amount of lemon juice and orange juice. Wonderful on ice cream. So easy to make, and very quick. This is certainly a keeper for us.

This was delicious. I did not have enough frozen blueberries so added equal amounts of frozen cherries and I would always make it that way! Served it with Norwegian pancakes, powder sugar. I think it might be great on ice cream too!
Diane Peterson
Super easy and delicious! I always increase cinnamon and add nutmeg in anything with cinnamon (my personal preference) and it tastes great in this recipe as well! My whole family loves this! We use it over ice cream and pancakes. Yum!

I made this to go with a pork lion and my family really enjoyed it.
Charles Johnson
I did not use dark brown sugar, used light brown sugar. I’ve had my delicious blueberry citrus sauce over vanilla frozen yogurt, as a desert sauce and for breakfast with plain greek yogurt so good haven’t had it yet over pancakes or waffles. That’s for this up coming weekend.
Christopher Martin
I found it a bit too tart, added 2 tbsps of extra sugar, next time 1 tbsp lemon juice to see if that helps. Great served over cheesecake.
Alyssa Owens
Just a wonderful recipe! Next time I will make extra to freeze.
Jacqueline Edwards
It was pretty good. It tastes a little too much like lemon, though. It was hard to taste the blueberries. Next time I will just add a little bit of lemon at a time instead of all of it at once. Will make again.
Julie Edwards
I made this for waffles and it was very very good. I had to use frozen blueberries, because it was all I had on hand.
Sara Hood
I made this as a quick topping for my lemon cheesecake. The sauce came out great and melded well with the flavor of the cheesecake.

I don’t usually write reviews but this sauce was so delicious, I feel inspired to do so! I made it the night before and reheated it in the morning to serve over waffles. It was such a hit! As others described, this is not overly sweet, but just sweet enough. My dad is very picky and he even kept going back for more! This is a keeper! 🙂
Mark Stone
Made this according to the recipe except omitted the zest (didn’t have any) and substituted light brown sugar for the dark. Consistency was just right, flavor tasty and a bit tangy. Delicious!
