Prized for their taste and nutrition, blueberries are a favorite for eating by the handful and as an ingredient in cooking and baking. Blueberry Love celebrates this sweet-tart summer fruit with 46 recipes for enjoying blueberries, fresh or frozen. From breakfast treats (Blueberry Bread Pudding and Blueberry Granola) to salads (Blueberry, Watermelon, Feta, and Mint), from main courses (Skirt Steak with Blueberry Port Sauce) to desserts (Whoopie Pies with Blueberry Cream Filling), this book is brimming with classic and creative ways to put blueberries to use. It also includes tips for picking, freezing, and making staples like jam and pie.
BLUEBERRY LOVE by Cynthia Graubart
We used to live quite close to a blueberry farm that allowed the public to come and get a berry pail and pick as many blueberries as you wanted to. They would then weigh your haul and charge you by the pound. I think this instilled a lifetime love of blueberries for us. My hubby always requests homemade blueberry muffins for Christmas morning and whenever else he can get them (for his birthday as a surprise). Where we live now, there are lots of wild huckleberry plants all over and it's great to be on a short walk and stop and gather up a treat.
Blueberry Love is chocked full of tasty blueberry recipes. Breakfast, salads & sides, lunch & dinner, and dessert are all topics in the book. A wonderful sounding Blueberry Soup recipe, I haven't heard of that before, I've had strawberry soup, and it tasted fantastic.
There are gluten-free recipes along with gluten recipes. Sweet, savory, beverages, syrups, just about anything you could think of that uses blueberries. The author uses a lot of pre-prepared items, to make the recipes easier and possibly faster to create. Some people who make everything homemade can substitute in their own homemade versions if they want.
Highly recommend. With Blueberry Love or Strawberry Love, you can substitute any other fruit in on the recipes, also.
Much appreciation to #netgalley for the complimentary copy of #blueberrylove I was under no obligation to post a review.
