Although these waffles are delicious any time of year, the comforting aromas of cinnamon, cloves and molasses will make your kitchen cozy on cold, winter mornings.

Gingerbread Waffles with Blueberry-Orange Sauce

Use a very small saucepan, about 1-quart size, for one package of blueberries so the sauce will thicken without overcooking. Serve waffles hot from the iron, or lay on a rack over a baking sheet and place in a 200 degrees F oven while preparing remaining waffles.
