- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon fresh minced rosemary

Instructions
Make the whipped goat cheese

Hint: Wait for the blueberry sauce to cool slightly, but it doesn’t have to be completely cold. This dip is just as amazing warm as it is chilled for a few hours. If you’re serving right away, you can serve warm.
