I grow up with blueberries in my back yard and I mean lots like acres and acres thanks to both of my parents who started a blueberry farm.. Every summer we had fresh blueberries and maybe that is why I love them so much it brings back memories.. and good for the memories also. Here are some of my recipes I use..

In large bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt until blended. Make a well in center of dry ingredients and add wet ingredients stirring just until combined. Fold in blueberries.

Divide batter equally ( I put a little more then 1/4 cup in each muffin but you'll only get 10 make sure to put some water in the empty ones) in lined muffin pan. Bake 20 minuted until light golden or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let sit for 10 minutes before removing muffins from pan. Cool on rack.
Enjoy them

Saving the BEST for last
Next PIE



I used a box mix for the pie crust but you can make your own. I love this pie because after it is cooled it will be thick and when you slice a piece it doesn't fall apart..

Blueberry Pie Filling

4 cup blueberries
1/2 cup sugar
1/8 tsp salt
5 tbls tapioca flour
1 tbls water
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Wash the berries and pat dry. Mash up half of the blueberries in a small bowl.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, salt and tapioca flour. Add the mashed blueberries, water and cinnamon, stir to combine. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes. Fold in the whole berries.

I made my crust when I was waiting the 15min for the mixture to sit. I just followed the box for the temperature for the oven..

I love the pie all by itself but you can try it with some ice cream...
