The season for those sweet little wild Maine blueberries has come and gone, but each year I pick/buy enough to last until the next season. They freeze beautifully which ensures that we can have all our favorite things made with them.
Blueberry muffins are always on hand as they are oh so good with morning coffee.
They are especially good topped with lavender blueberry jam which is also a great topping for ice cream or panna cotta.
Scones oozing with blueberries are a special treat for Sunday brunch.
When the kids come to visit, their favorite is blueberry pancakes with GrandP’s secret syrup, better known as maple syrup.
As yummy as other things are our hands down favorite is blueberry crisp. Sometimes it’s all blueberries, but it’s equally good with peaches or with mixed berries.
I’ve been making this crisp since I was a teenager thanks to the recipe shared by our next door neighbor. For that reason, I always call it Miss Myrtle’s pie. Since she was generous enough to share her recipe, I will share it with you and hope it becomes one of your favorite desserts.
Blueberry Crisp
4 c. blueberries, peaches or mixed fruit
1/3 c. sugar
1 heaping T. flour, cornstarch or tapioca
1 t. lemon juice
Mix all ingredients together in a pie pan or baking dish.
For the topping, combine 1 c. flour, 1 c. sugar and 1/2 c. brown sugar. With a fork, add a slightly beaten egg and mix until the dry ingredients are crumbly.
Sprinkle on top of the fruit and generously dot with butter. Bake at 350 until the topping is nicely browned.
There you have it. At our house we like cinnamon so I often add a teaspoon to either the fruit or the berries. Of course, the finishing touch is a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. Hmm, I can taste it now, so I’m going to the kitchen and get started.
i so appreciate your visit and the comments you leave behind

We’re headed to Maine in October, but, alas, the blueberries we get will have to be frozen or canned, I suppose. Great post. And thanks for the recipe!

Wild blueberries all the way–so much tastier and better for you than the large domestic ones. Loved all the photos! Inspired me to make some muffins myself in the morning.
For sure the small ones have more flavor.
