It's going to be blueberry season soon. Let's post our TNT (Tried and True) blueberry recipes.
I got this recipe from watching "Paula Deen". It is good. It uses blueberries but I was thinking that it would be good with blackberries.
Blueberry Coffee Cake
1 can of Grands biscuits, quartered
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 cube melted butter, or margarine
1 1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup oatmeal
Mix the brownsugar and cinnamon together. Roll the biscuits in the melted butter, and then roll them in the brown sugar mixture. Put the biscuits into an 8x8 baking dish, coated with non-stick cooking spray. Toss the blueberries with the granulated sugar. Spoon half of the blueberries on thop of the biscuits, sprinkle 1/4 cup of the oatmeal on top of the berries, then the rest of the berries and the reast of the oatmeal. Pour any remaining melted butter on top. Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 20 to 30 minutes.
I use frozen blueberries. It is very sweet and good with a little vanilla ice cream.
I had posted this one in another thread but I copied it to here.

My blackberries are a couple of weeks away from being ripe. I interchange blueberries, raspberries and blackberries all the time. Our neighbor has an acre of blueberries (500 or more huge bushes) that I get to pick all I want. So I love lots of blueberry recipes.
Dale, I found another one that I think would be good. It is in my "Diabetic-Living magazine.

They also have some good ones for Lemon-Blueberry Bread and Ice Cream. All you have to do is type in the search what you want. Did you find the one for the bread pudding, Gloria? It has a sauce to go with the pudding that sound wonderful.

Bake @ 325F for 10 minutes - Cool
CHEEESE LAYER
8 oz package cream cheese – softened

2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix ingredients – spread over crust.
Bake @ 325F for 20 minutes
BLUEBERRY LAYER
3 cups frozen blueberries
½ cup sugar
½ cup water

4 teaspoon cornstarch
½ cup cold water

...and another one.....
Blueberry Crumble
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup oatmeal
1 cup flour
1/2 cup butter or oleo
Blueberries
Crumb ingredients together and place one half in a 8 x 8 pan, pressing down firmly. Cover with blueberries. Cover berries with rest of crumb mixture. Press down firmly. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Cool. Cut in squares. Serve with ice cream, whipped cream or plain.
Cherries, apples, rhubarb or other fruits can be used in place of blueberries. I have made this with blackberries and it is really good.
