Minty Blueberry Lemonade Popsicles

Standard

You had me at blueberry.

1 pt fresh blueberries

Handful of fresh mint leaves

enough lemonade to fill your popsicle molds when mixed with the other ingredients

Add everything food processor, blend. Pour into your popsicle molds and freeze at least 4 hours.

I did not add enough lemonade the first time around, so I divided the mixture between the molds, froze it for an hour without inserting the sticks, then added more pure lemonade to the individual popsicles. They are very pretty, but it does add a step 🙂 If you do it this way, don’t forget to add the sticks!

Edited to add: these are even better than I expected. Make them.

Perfect blueberry pie filling

Standard

Take 1 lb fresh (preferred) or thawed frozen (acceptable substitute) blueberries.  Add 1/2 c lemon juice and 1/2 c brown sugar, mix and let sit for a moment.  In a separate bowl, mix 1/4 c corn starch and 1/4 c flour.  Sprinkle mixture over blueberries, one mixing one spoonful at a time, until they are lightly coated.  Use in blueberry pies, cobblers, on waffles, or wherever else you may need a blueberry filling (hint: everywhere).  Cook at least 20 minutes at 350 degrees for saucy goodness, though longer time or higher temperature is fine too, depending on your recipe.

So good.  seriously. so good.
