Blueberry paste
Description
A preservation recipe without unnecessary fuss. To make blueberry paste, I suggest mixing the berries with apples. Use tart-sweet apples if the berries are already ripe and sweet (and vice versa). The paste keeps well in a container in the refrigerator. It’s delicious with yogurt or other fruit. I won’t even get into blueberries’ health benefits—you could talk about those forever.
