18 Ways to Use Blueberries This Summer!

One of the season’s most awaited delights; blueberries are in season from spring through the height of summer. Adaptable and sweet, blueberries make a bright addition to cobblers, pies, cakes, slumps, ice cream, sauces, and other recipes, but when blueberries are truly at their peak, their flavor is perhaps best enjoyed simply eaten out of hand.

Ingredients

1 cup Blueberries (fresh or frozen, if frozen, thaw and drain)
1/3 cup Sugar, or more to taste
pinch of salt
grated zest of one lime
juice of one lime
3/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup sour cream

Instructions

In a medium saucepan cook blueberries, sugar, salt, lime zest and juice over medium heat, stirring, until mixture boils and the berries pop and soften, about 4 minutes.
Pour the berry mixture into a blender and whirl until a seemingly homogeneous puree is achieved, about 1 minute. The mixture will not be completely smooth. Add the heavy cream and sour cream and pulse to blend. Taste and add a bit more lime juice or sugar if you choose.
Pour the blend into a bowl and refrigerate until it is chilled before churning into ice cream.

Notes

I used the best quality heavy cream and sour cream I could find.
