Sunrise Pancakes with Pineapple Syrup

As I've said in previous posts, pancakes are a huge hit at Reeder Ranch and this morning's concoction was no exception! With all those FFA oranges I have just waiting to be used, this batch of flapjacks practically invented itself! Although I happened to have fresh pineapple on hand, canned would work just as effectively.

Sunrise Pancakes
Enough of your favorite boxed or homemade pancake mix to make a dozen or so pancakes, OMITTING 1/4 c liquid.
Zest of 1/2-1 orange
Juice of two small oranges or one large orange
Drizzle of honey

Fry 'em up!!

Pineapple Syrup
2 cups cubed pineapple or 1 small can
1/4 c water
1 T honey
2-3 T water
1 T corn starch

Heat first three items in a small pot over medium heat until pineapple has broken down. Mash up any large chunks. Once it has boiled for a few minutes, make slurry of cold water and corn starch. Add it to the pot in small doses until you reach your desired syrup consistency. Serve warm over Sunrise Pancakes and enjoy!
