Recipes
Fruit-on-the-Bottom Yogurt Cups
A made-from-scratch superfood version of ordinary fruit yogurt (which you will likely never want to buy again!).
Recipes
Blueberry-Chia Smoothie
Also delicious with frozen strawberries or mangoes instead of the pineapple, and with orange juice or any other nut milk for the liquid.
Recipes
Blueberry and Corn Crisp
A unique and textured crisp with the flavors of corn muffins and blueberry jam smashed together.
Recipes
Blueberry Ripple Ice Cream
There's no need to make homemade ice cream when blueberry jam ups the flavor and the presentation.
Recipes
Blueberry-Apple Cordials
For those times when you buy as many quarts of berries as you can carry, then don’t know what to do with them, preserve them into drinkable form.
Recipes
Glazed Blueberry-Blackberry Turnovers
If the dough starts to soften as you form these, pop it back in the fridge for ten minutes to firm back up.
Recipes
Blueberry-Lemon Icebox Cake
The more particular you are when building the layers in the loaf pan, the more neat and tidy this will look when sliced.
Recipes
Blueberry–Chia Seed Jam
Don’t worry if this looks a little runny when it’s hot. The chia seeds will plump as the jam cools, thickening it considerably.
Recipes
Blueberry-Chia Ice Pops
Keeping some blueberries whole in these ice pops results in unexpected, surprising bursts of sweet, fresh flavor.
Recipes
All-Purpose Pie Dough
Apple cider helps hydrate the dough without activating too much gluten; the results are ultraflaky. Use this crust for Blueberry-Buttermilk Chess Pie.
