The 2009 Blueberry Festival continues. No, that’s not a typo in the title. Try it if you’re skeptical! It’s a bit like a raspberry square, with graham crumbs standing in for the oats, and macerated blueberries – with a few extra flavors – instead of the raspberry jam. I found that macerating the berries about half an hour or so before starting the rest was plenty of time, but you could do this step even earlier if necessary.

If lemons and blueberries are heavenly matched in a dessert, why not in a drink?
I wanted to make a healthy, flavorful refreshing sugar-free drink and blueberries, naturally, came to mind. The trick is to let the mint leaves steep in the hot liquid and then remove them before serving. Mint really adds a punch! I also added lemon zest, one of my new favorite ingredients. But make no mistake – blueberries are the star of this drink, and lemon and mint are used only to enhance the blueberry taste.
