5. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add Manuka honey and bring to a boil. Simmer 2-3 minutes, and then add berry puree. Continue to simmer 2-3 minutes more until syrup thickens slightly. Set honey syrup aside and keep warm.
6. For each serving, place 2 waffles on plate. Top 1 waffle with ¼ cup fresh berries. Drizzle with ¼ syrup, and top sandwich with remaining waffle.
7. Recipe yields 4 servings, 2 waffles apiece. Now, go ahead and enjoy your waffle sandwich for breakfast (or lunch or dinner—either will do!)
