So!
We obviously love Blueberries and not only because they are great fresh from the field, but they are an EPIC ingredient for so many things! (AND so healthy too!!)
Thanks to the one and only legend of Mrs B (aka Cess, Emily, Rosie & Mum!) we have for the last few years been serving these kind of homemade nice things on the counter and because we like sharing, all the recipes are at the bottom of the page below!
HOWEVER, it should be noted that the recipes below will just not taste as great unless you use OUR Frozen Blueberries! ;)
We freeze loads through the summer so that there are plenty to sell throughout the year and if we aren't Open then Lorraine in the Nursery always has them for sale Mon-Fri too :)
And definitely please send us some pics of your Blueberry Creations!!!
