The wonderful thing about traditions is they help us hold on to the best of our past. Since the days when the colonists first landed, wild native blueberries have been a choice ingredient in traditional American cuisine.
Originally, blueberries were just a summer treat. But luckily, blueberries freeze well. So today we can enjoy these traditional American delights throughout the year.
Today, both wild and cultivated blueberries offer more than good looks and good taste. They are a good source of vitamin C, and one cup supplies nearly one-third of an adult's daily requirement. So enjoy these recipes in good health!
