If you do the fruit leather save the juice and make wine. Blueberry wine is very good.

They make a great smoothie when mixed with other fruit and a little milk. We mix them up in a thing called the magic bullet.

Blueberry surprise (kinda like cobbler) pint of blueberries or other fruit, can of crushed pineapple in a greased baking dish, cover with a box of cheap cake mix (dry), melt a half stick or so of butter and drizzle over it. Bake at 350 until brown and bubbly.

Blueberry wine.

[flounderman]

I just used up about 50 lbs of frozen blueberries. I cooked them down, put sugar and corn startch and some apple juice in them. I use them over the dutch baby somebody had a recipe on here for. I probably have 50lbs I picked this year, frozen. I had some figs the other day and picked about an equal amount of berries and cooked them down and they came out good. You can throw the cooked down berries in a glass of milk and that works good, make pie filling from them. I haven't made wine for several years but blueberries make good wine. cooking them down with a little apple juice and sugar and freezing them you can use them a lot of different ways

If you wanted more of a kick you could use PGA (Pure Grain Alcahol)!!

It doesn't take that long to make something ready to drink, it takes that long for it to be good. When fermentation finishes there are lots of higher order alcohols which give the beverage a "hot" taste to it (think of drinking rocket fuel). These higher order alcohols convert to lower order alcohols over time mellowing the alcohol taste and allow the natural sweetness of the mead to come back to the front.

The time it takes to make good mead is the reason I started brewing beer, something to drink in between the mead batches.

If you do use PGA filter it through a water filter that has a charcoal element. I use a brita. 5 passes through the filter makes a world of difference in flavor and aroma.

[DLCTEX]

We make blueberry ice cream and use them in pancakes, mixed fruit dish, muffins, jam, etc. or just eat them partially thawed for a fruit snack.
