Try out some of our favorite Blueberry Recipes:

Blueberry Soup

Ingredients:

• 4 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
• 1 (12 oz ) can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
• 1/2 cup cold water
• 1 tsp dried lavender
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups vanilla yogurt
• Sweet Cake Croutons

Directions:

1. Stir together blueberries, lemonade concentrate and water.  Bring to a boil; reduce heat and stir in dried lavender.  Simmer, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes or until blueberries begin to burst.  Remove from heat, and cool 5 minutes.  Stir in vanilla extract.
2. Presh mixture through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a large bowl.  Put pulp aside (delicious as a yogurt topping/mixed in with yogurt).  Stir in yogurt to "soup".  Cover and chill 4 to 24 hours.  Serve with Sweet Cake Croutons.

(Sweet Cake Croutons can be made by using any dense cake - butter pound cake or a vanilla pound cake, cut up into small cubes and drizzled with butter and toasted lightly)

Blueberry Cobbler

Ingredients:

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup flour
• 1 stick of butter
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla
• fresh blueberries

Directions:

1. Mix the first 4 ingredients in a bowl.
2. Pour blueberries into the bottom of a pie or small casserole dish (I filled my pie dish to the half mark)
3. Use a spoon to dollop the "crust" mixture on top of the berries.  Gently flattening it out.
4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and cook for 30 minutes.
