Nope, not a saute, its a reduction, almost like you're stewing the fruit. And yummy, lol. I like an apple and cherry compote myself with crepes, or lemon curd, or orange marmalade.
Crepes and blintz are similar, I think. I don't find crepes all that hard to make... lots of folks have a "crepe pan" but I use the underside of a cast-iron skillet, well greased. Or I did when I had a gas stove. Its harder to get it hot enough on my smooth topped electric range. Stupid condo and its no-gas rule. *sobs*
Its just a matter of getting the batter thin enough, and not overcooking them. I suck at pancakes but do ok with crepes. My hubby is just the opposite, lol.
Even though Louisiana is predominantly Catholic, we have Mardi Gras instead of Shrove Tuesday. While I think King Cake is a pretty good trade for pancakes, I still think we should do pancakes, too, lol. *grins*
