Until the competition takes place, here are three delicious recipes to inspire you. Break out your whisk, heat up your oven, and grab some blueberries and let’s get baking!
First, we have Blueberry Hand Pies. A light buttery crust wrapped around sweet blueberries with a sprinkle of sugar, baked to perfection! Eggs, sugar, lemons and most importantly, blueberries, perfectly combine to create this simple hand pie.

Next up in this delicious lineup are Blueberry Lemon Bars. This classic dessert will leave everyone satisfied. The crust is a sugar cookie shortbread duo that doubles as the tasty crumb topping. With the crust and topping covered, this leaves us with the middle of this dessert. A combination that is unmatched for blueberry lovers – blueberries and sugar. The simple ingredients of this recipe allow the star of this dish to shine, the blueberries of course. Bake these in the oven, cut into squares and ta da! You have a dessert that will have everyone reaching for seconds. View the full recipe here: http://thewoodandspoon.com/blueberry-lemon-bars/
Last, but certainly not least, we have Blueberry Sweet Rolls with a Lemon Glaze. Lemons and blueberries are a match made in heaven, there’s no denying it. Fluffy rolls with juicy blueberries tucked inside. How does it get better than this? Oh wait! A lemon glaze? That’s exactly what we were thinking. Powdered sugar, lemon juice, and a bit of cream will create the perfect blanket of sweetness for these rolls. Recipe by https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/blueberry-sweet-rolls-with-lemon-glaze/
