50 Best Blueberry Recipes You Need To Try
Summertime means many things to all of us. In our house one of occasions we look forward to most is berry season. From picking strawberries at our local U-Pick patch, to purchasing fresh blueberries from a farmers' market and even enjoying blackberries from the bushes we have in our backyard, we go kind of berry crazy over the next few months.

When is Blueberry Picking Season?
Blueberries thrive with hot, sunny days, so depending where you are located, blueberry season is almost all year round. In North America, the season is said to run April through October, varying by region. In my home state of Indiana, prime blueberry picking season is July-August, which I know from experience is exactly when we have the juiciest, plumpest, most delicious berries.
Do not assume blueberries are just for summer desserts, either. I've gathered the best blueberry recipes to show they can be put to yummy use in everything from breakfast to dinner, plus drinks, sauces and salads. No worries though, there are plenty of blueberry desserts included here. How does Blueberry Pie, Homemade Blueberry Ice Cream and Lemon Blueberry Poke Cake sound? Plus, I even managed to find some low-carb, keto-friendly blueberry treats. Not to mention a few blueberry-based cocktails for the adults and a red, white and blue(berry) dessert for your 4th of July celebration!
