Melted Blueberries with Ginger and Mandarin Orange

"Tossed into frothy butter scented with ginger, blueberries soften and seem to melt away. I usually use orange blossom honey, as it nicely balances the earthy sweetness of blueberries and the vibrant citrus flavors of mandarin orange. Once the flavors meld together in the heat of the pan, I ladle the blueberries into waiting bowls and serve them with a dollop of whipped cream that melts, ever so slowly, with the residual heat of the berries." -The Nourished Kitchen
