Everything’s Coming Up Blueberries

As all of you know, I love to harvest just about anything.  I speak frequently about my garden and the vegetables I pick from there, but I also love going to other farms and harvesting things that I don’t have around here.  Case in point, blueberries.

July is blueberry season and every year I head to a local farm about 5 minutes from here and pick blueberries.  Last week, I tagged along with my dear friend, Vera, and her son Phillip.  Surrounded by oodles and oodles of blueberries and stained fingers, slowly my bucket was filling.  I say slowly, as pick one, eat four was my MO for the day.  They were so good, so sweet, and with every berry I popped into my mouth, my mind was racing on what to make with these little yummies.

With all the different recipes I had floating around in my head, I was more inspired to create one blueberry recipe and use it in several ways.  I wanted to make a simple recipe packed full of blueberry flavor and have that flavor enhance other dishes.

Blueberry Sauce was my answer.

With a hands on time of about 10 minutes, a versatile recipe was bottled up in a jar and ready for the possibilities.  So, I made a Delicious Cheesecake drizzled with Blueberry Sauce. 

Then I decided to make a Blueberry Wine Spritzer.  Heavenly.

I drizzled Blueberry Sauce over grilled chicken.  Over ice cream.  Over cut cantaloupe for breakfast.  I even drizzled this delicious sauce over a white pizza.  Sounds a little odd, but OMG, it was mind-blowing.  Delish!

So, without further adieu, here are three recipes for you to enjoy!
