Kay in Cal Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 (hanging my head in shame because I accidentally cross-posted this on the curriculum board) :blush: Ok... I've got about 1/4 of them in the freezer, made some blueberry corn bread (just mixed them into the recipe). When that comes out of the oven I have some biscuit-type shortcake to go in for blueberry shortcake w/ whipped cream. I found a recipe for lemon-blue berry pancakes online... Lemon Blueberry Pancakes INGREDIENTS: 1 egg 1 cup flour 3/4 cup milk 1 tablespoon sugar 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 tablespoon baking powder [1/2 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1/2 cup fresh blueberries, or use frozen thawed blueberries PREPARATION: Beat egg until frothy; beat in remaining ingredients except blueberries, beating just until smooth. Gently stir in blueberries. Grease a heated griddle. For each pancake, pour about 3 tablespoons of batter from a large spoon or from pitcher onto the hot griddle. Cook pancakes until puffed and dry around edges. Turn and cook other side until golden brown. Please keep those ideas coming! I still have a HUGE bowl of blueberries here!

Melinda in VT Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Blueberry pie! We pick blueberries every summer at a farm that has live music in the evenings while you pick. Then we go home and make lots of blueberry pies. Yum! (We do freeze some for use in pancakes, coffee cake, muffins, etc., during the year.)

Lisa in Jax Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I make blueberry sour cream pound cake. How about that? Other ideas: smoothies, muffins, pancakes, parfaits, or ice cream. Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane in NC Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 If you tire of blueberries for breakfast or blueberry dessert, try blueberry salsa. There is a recipe here. My husband regularly makes this. People who don't like tomatoes are especially appreciative. Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfunnybunch Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 It's delicious! The recipe: http://myfunnybunch.blogspot.com/2006/08/blueberry-cobbler.html (Scroll past the blabbering-- the recipe itself is at the bottom of the post.) I made blueberry jam last year by whirling the berries in the food processor to deal with the skins. It was fabulous!! I use Pomona's pectin for low-sugar jam, and the jam really did taste like fresh blueberries. I plan to make more than one batch this year because it was such a hit.

Legomom Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 We make smoothies with just orange juice and frozen blueberries. Very tasty and refreshing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually go in mid-July and pick about 25 pounds. I wish we could go now....:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanamak Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Please keep those ideas coming! I still have a HUGE bowl of blueberries here! Juice them (I steam-juice, but you need a steam juicer) and boil it down and can as syrup. Yeeee-UUUUM midwinter on pancakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmom3 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I went to your blog and instead of reading past your "blabbering" I enjoyed a few minutes of wonderful tears!!!!!!!! What a sweet post. We plan on going blueberry pickin' this year for the first time and I pray I will make such tender memories- not perfect ones-except in the retelling! Thank you!!!!!!

greenwillow Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 ...and I can't wait!!! Here's a SUPER easy one that is a family favorite, and you really can't mess it up (there are not really measurements for this one, and all ingredients can be adjusted to taste): You'll need blueberries, fruit juice, sugar (optional), one box of yellow cake mix, 1-2 sticks butter Pour enough blueberries in a 9x13 glass baking dish to cover the bottom about 2 berries deep. Pour a small amount (maybe a quarter cup) of fruit juice over berries (we use apple juice, but many kinds or even water will do). Sprinkle about a quarter cup of sugar evenly over berries (optional). Pour dry cake mix over berries, spread evenly over berries. Thinly slice butter stick and place butter squares so they are covering the dry cake mix. Bake at 350-375 degrees for 30 minutes or until top is golden and juices are bubbly. This is good with ice cream, and it is good either cold or hot. Enjoy!

Shenan Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Blueberry Muffins, Blueberry pancakes, Blueberry syrup, Smoothies, and blueberry buckle!!! And may I add that I am very envious right now. Blueberry season doesn't arrive here until July! :drool5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpe Diem Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 We love blueberry pie but that uses 4 cups of the precious things. So, now we like to use them in cheesecake because you only use maybe 1 cup. So yummy. Also, pancakes and just on top of a good cereal. We hate to waste our blueberries! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vida Winter Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I love blueberries! My favorite way is to just eat them raw. Next, I love to make cobblers (crumbly topping) and crisps (biscuit type topping). I also love fresh blueberries on a small bowl of grape nuts with a splash of half-n-half on it. I would freeze the rest for pancakes or muffins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
