Serve with Poppy Seed Dressing. Get the recipe for Eat-The-Rainbow Slaw.
Fresh Blueberry Pie
What is Fresh Blueberry Pie? A pie that is so blueberry-y that it is practically incomprehensible.

These pops are sweet, but not-too-sweet, and happen to be vegan! Get the recipe for Vegan Red, White And Blue Popsicles.

Maple Balsamic Chicken With Blueberries
People will ask for this recipe – and you won’t believe how easy it is. Start with juicy chicken thighs. The sauce is made from blueberries (fresh or frozen, so you can make it year-round), maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, and sage. Made on a sheet pan in the oven! Get the recipe for this.
Peach Blueberry Crostata
Blueberries and peaches go beautifully together and here they are nestled in a slightly sweet cristata crust. Easier to make them a pie or a formal tart, you simply roll out a disc of pastry dough and fold the edges up over the fresh fruit. Get the recipe for Peach Blueberry Crostata.
Red, White & Blue Trifle
We created this trifle for the Fourth of July, but it would be welcomed at any party. The cake component is angel food cake, which by its very nature is quite sweet. We have added a little bit of plain yogurt to the whipped cream, to temper the overall sweetness. Then a strawberry compote, and a blueberry compote, are each made, and everything is layered together in a trifle bowl. A great do-ahead recipe. Get the recipe for Red, White & Blue Trifle.
