Strawberry-Basil Sauce
A fresh alternative to maple syrup. This sauce is
a delicious topper for most waffles.
Have leftovers? Serve over vanilla ice
cream for dessert!
Makes about 2 cups
1 pound (4 cups) fresh strawberries,
hulled and quartered
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Pinch kosher salt
1 large sprig fresh basil
1. Put all ingredients into a medium
saucepan set over medium-low heat.
Partially cover and bring to a simmer
and then reduce heat to low to allow
mixture to cook down slightly, about
20 to 25 minutes. Strawberries should
be very soft.
2. Remove from heat and allow to cool
to room temperature.
3. Once cool, remove basil and blend
until smooth, either using a stick
blender directly in the pot, or transfer
to a countertop blender.

1. Put all ingredients in a medium to
large saucepan set over medium-low
heat. Partially cover and bring mixture
to a simmer and then reduce heat to
low to allow to cook down slightly,
about 30 minutes. Apples should be
knife-tender, but still maintaining
their shape.
2. Remove from heat and allow to cool
slightly. Remove cinnamon stick and
serve warm or chilled.

Orange-Maple Butter
Compound butters are very versatile and add
a nice touch to a number of dishes. This sweet
butter is delicious when spread on any number
of the preceding waffles, but it’s also perfect for
dressing up a piece of toast.
Makes ½ cup
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted,
GOOD quality butter, room
temperature and cut into
1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons maple syrup
Zest of 1 large orange
(about 1 tablespoon grated)
Pinch kosher salt
1. Put all ingredients into the work bowl
of a mini chopper fitted with the
chopping blade, or food processor.
Process until fully combined, about
30 seconds, stopping to scrape down
as needed.
2. Remove butter from the bowl and
place on a sheet of waxed paper.
With the aid of the paper, form the
butter into a log. Roll and wrap
well in plastic. Butter can either be
refrigerated, if using within 2 weeks,
or frozen up to 1 month.
