Pies, Muffins, Ice Cream, and Extra Seasonal Treats

Ripe seasonal blueberries are considered one of summer season’s treasures: candy, stuffed with juice, and only a tiny bit tart. Pretty much as good as they’re plucked straight off the bush (and no, we can’t decide you for not washing them first underneath these circumstances), the flexibility of this gorgeous purple fruit makes it an irresistible addition to baked items and even cocktails. They freeze properly, too, so when you’re going through the top of the season and have not had an opportunity to sort out the recipes under—together with a scrumptious blueberry pie, a tangy blueberry-lime ice cream, and traditional blueberry muffins—you’ll want to load up at your farmers market and retailer a few of these gems for the off season. Your future self will thanks.
