dil brought me 3 gals of blueberries. I have a few recipes, but I thought some of you might come up with some interesting uses for blueberries.

My favorite is really simple, but it's just a single serving so may not do what you need right now! LOL!

I fill up a custard cup with blueberries; nuke til they JUST start to get shiny. Add some DaVinci syrup to sweeten (I like the Dulce de Leche or Danish Pastry) or other Splenda-type sweetener to taste. Nuke JUST until the berries start to bubble.

Top with either cream, whipped cream or full-fat yogurt. Boy is it GOOD!

Somewhere I think I have a blueberry crisp recipe - if I can find it I'll post it.

How about just freezing them for later? Pour into a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, freeze til solid, then bag up in ziplocs - this way you can just pour out the quantity you want any time you want them!

I make a sf jam from berries, Lou (blueberries, strawberries or raspberries, or a mix) that is pretty simple. I mash the fruit, add sweetener of choice, a squeeze of fresh lemon, and thicken with xanthan gum. No cooking or measuring, really, 'cause I do it all to taste. I store this in small plastic containers in the freezer. It tastes much like the sf jam you buy in the grocery, but MUCH cheaper and has no weird ingredients. I make this in a thinner version, too, and use it as a topping for lc cheesecake and flaxseed pancakes. I recommend using berry-flavored DaVinci syrups, if you have them, for part of the sweetener...really punches up the flavors.
