Griddle Cakes with Strawberry-Orange Sauce

Sauce:
1 pkg. (10 oz) frozen sliced strawberries, thawed
2 tbs. Frozen orange juice concentrate
1 tbs. Lemon juice
½ tsp. Grated lemon peel

Griddle Cakes:
3 eggs
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 tbs. Sugar
1 tbs. Butter or margarine, melted
Pinch of salt
Vegetable oil

Directions:
For sauce, place strawberries, orange juice, lemon juice and peel in large bowl. Mash berries with pastry blender or fork; set aside. For griddle cakes, whisk eggs and cottage cheese in medium bowl until well blended (cottage cheese should still be slightly lumpy). Add flour, sugar, butter, and salt; mix well. Lightly brush griddle or large skillet with oil, heat over medium-high heat until hot, but not smoking. For each pancake, pour scant ¼ cup batter onto griddle. Cook 2 - 3 minutes or until bubbles form and tops look dry. Turn pancakes; cook 1 minute longer or until golden brown on bottoms.
Serve with strawberry-orange sauce.
Yield: 8 griddle cakes.

NOTE:
Pancake batter and sauce can be made up to 1 day ahead of time. Cover and store separately in refrigerator until ready to use.
