Blueberries?

[warpig3]

We happen to have an excess of blueberries (dont ask, mrwarpig did the big shop tonight!!!!)

Not sure what to do with them, does anyone have any recipes that we could try out? Blueberry pie perhaps?

Thanks

My favorite way is to make a parfait:
Layer of blueberry yogurt.
Layer of blueberries.
Layer of granola.

It's certainly difficult to match anything BBWCHATT posts, but when we visit friends in Freeport, Maine, especially during blueberry season the lady of the house always makes her famous Blueberry Cobbler. The flavour is more intense, in my opinion, than blueberry pie. Here's her recipe:

1pint Maine wild blueberries (Ok, England's will do, I suppose)
1/3 cup water
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1 cup flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1-1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
1/3 cup butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine Maine wild blueberries, 3/4 cup white sugar, water, and lemon rind in a baking dish. Bring to boil and simmer for 2 minutes. Meanwhile, combine reserved 1/4 cup white sugar with brown sugar, flour baking powder, and cinnamon. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle crumbs over blueberry mixture. Bake approximately 25 minutes or until top is brown. Serve warm with heavy cream or vanilla ice cream.

Enjoy!
