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 molbuttes 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 molbuttes. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

I tried the sorbet recipe, and it's very good.
