Blueberries

19 July 2015

I love blueberries. They at sooooo yummy. Right now, we have a HUGE box of them in the fridge. Here is a whole pile of things you can do with blueberries:

1. Wash and eat fresh. Yum!
2. Blueberry muffins. Like this morning's breakfast. 
3. Blueberry jam. Yummy on muffins, bagels, crackers, and cheese. 
4. Blueberry pancakes. Hmmm. Maybe I'll make those tomorrow!
5. Smoothie. Tasty on their own or with a mix of other berries. 
6. Fruit crisp. Especially nice warm with a bit of vanilla icecream. Is your mouth watering yet? Mine is...
7. Blueberry clafoutis. Especially nice when mixed with peaches. And vanilla yogurt on top. Tuesday breakfast, maybe?
8. On salad. Nice mixed with strawberries and some nuts. Choose a fruity salad dressing and - just like that - super yummy salad!
9. Blueberries and yogurt. Especially fun when the blueberries are hiding under the yogurt and come as a surprise. 
10. Blueberries and ice-cream. Make it even yummier with a bit of chocolate sauce. Oh boy!
11. Blueberry tarts. Or pie. But I'm not a great pie-maker so let's say tarts!
12. Blueberry-cranberry sauce. Yummy on turkey. Works great if you're a little short on cranberries at Thanksgiving!
13. Blueberry syrup. I've never made syrup from blueberries but I do have a recipe. Maybe one day if I don't get enough blackberries I can make a batch..
14. Frozen blueberries straight out of the freeze. A yummy winter snack. 
15. Dipped in chocolate. What fruit isn't good dipped in chocolate?

There you have it. 15 great reasons to buy lots and lots of blueberries during the summer. And a whole pile of extras for the freezer for treats all winter long.
