Let it set a little bit for the oats to soften, and the yogurt to get colder from the frozen berries. I never want to be without frozen blueberries in my freezer. Dee Dee |

It's terribly tempting to stock up on them - they're just so gorgeous
and yummy right now - and they do freeze nicely. Know what, though? You can just buy them already frozen, probably for less than what you'd pay for fresh, and the brands I've bought frozen have all been perfectly fine. I think they're $2.99 or less for a one lb. bag, and I'm all for letting someone else do the work. |

They're wonderful!: Blueberry Muffins You will need foil muffin cups for this recipe. Bake on a cookie sheet at 375° F for 20-25 minutes. 2 C. flour 2 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 C. melted butter (cooled) 2 eggs 1 1/4 C. sugar 1/2 C. milk 2 - 2 1/2 C. blueberries Mix first 3 listed dry ingredients in bowl. In separate bowl, mix sugar and eggs, then add milk. Add to dry ingredients, mix until all ingredients are combines, then add blueberries. Use extra 2 T. of flour if using frozen blueberries. Fill muffin cups to the top. Sprinkle top with sugar before baking. -- Jani in WA (S'mee) ~ mom, VidGamer, novice cook, dieter ~ |

Blueberry pancakes with frozen blueberries in the winter are okay. Blueberry pancakes with fresh pancakes in August are... they are... oh-my-goodness-divine. The blueberries *pop* when they're prepared from fresh in a way that never happens when they're prepared from frozen. I only freeze fresh berries when I pick them myself (raspberries last week, this week, and next. Blueberries hopefully next week and the following couple). Eat the fresh berries now, as many as you can in as many ways as you can until you can eat berries no longer. Eat'em plain by the handful. Their season is fleeting, so be not coy and gather ye berries while ye may... Sorry. I might have gone just a tad over the top there. I enjoy a good berry. Alexis. |

Feel free to call it something else. It'll still be yummy. serene |

> They are on sale... two cartons for $5 -- so I'm stocking up but > what to do with them? Sometime poster Dragon (who attended one of the San Diego cook-ins a couple years ago) wrote this to an e-mail list: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyway, here are a couple of recipes for some yummy blueberry treats: Blueberry sorbet: 1 pint fresh blueberries 1/2 cup vanilla sugar 1/2 cup strawberry jelly or jam 1/2 cup blueberry jelly or jam 1 tablespoon lemon juice Pinch salt Water If you do not have vanilla sugar, just use plain granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Place the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, jelly, salt and about 1 cup water in a blender. Puree until smooth. Add enough water to bring the volume to 5 cups. Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator. Process in ice cream maker for about 30 minutes or until it has set up well. Freeze at least four hours. Blueberry ice cream: 1 pint whipping cream 1 pint whole milk 1 pint fresh blueberries 3/4 cup sugar 2 blades mace (whole) 1 cinnamon stick 1/8 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses Pinch salt Put all ingredients except the blueberries into a sauce pot. Heat until it just begins to boil and then back off to a bare simmer. Crush the blueberries lightly with a wooden spoon or a potato masher then add to the hot cream mixture. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Chill overnight in the refrigerator. Process in ice cream maker until set (about 30 to 40 minutes). Freeze at least four hours. Serve with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar or pomegranate molasses. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I tried the sorbet recipe, and it's very good. Bob |
"Tara" > wrote in message ... > smoothies Got a smoothy recipe? I tried blending some berries with OJ and ice and it tasted good but looked like... well, we won't go there. Obviously not an orange julius -- I missed something. Note: I got the idea from the magic bullet commercial, but I used a conventional Oster blender... ---- She wondered, "what is he chewing on?"

My favorite is to throw a cup or two of liquid (juice, soymilk, regular milk, whatever) and a banana in the blender, then toss in one chunk of frozen fruit/berry at a time until the mixture is of the proper consistency. It's lovely, and the banana is essential for the texture, to me. serene |

I just dump everything together when I make a smoothie, so I'm not to sure about the measurements, but I'm thinking it's maybe a cup of frozen berries and a frozen banana if I have one with about a cup of yogurt and half a cup of milk plus a little sugar or sweetener to taste. If you use your fresh berries, you might want to add some ice. I lived for berry smoothies when I was pregnant last summer. Tara |
