Bourbon Cherry Syrup

In a small saucepan, bring the sugars, bourbon and water to a boil over high heat. Turn the heat to medium-low, add the cherries and let the syrup bubble gently and reduce until a syrup-like consistency. When reduced to your liking, remove from heat and set aside. Gently reheat on low before serving.

Honeyed Yogurt

In a small bowl, stir honey into yogurt to taste.

Buttermilk Waffle

In a bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and a pinch of salt. In liquid measuring cup, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk and eggs. Add the wet ingredients to the dry, stirring until just combined. Let sit while you heat up your waffle iron.

Grease your waffle iron if needed and cook waffles according to waffle iron instructions or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.
