Blueberries, Blueberries, Blueberries

>Blueberries have always been a great favorite of mine. Growing up in South Jersey I always looked forward to the end of June and early July when the fresh blueberry crop came in. That meant it was time for "Blueberry Buckle". What we called "Blueberry Buckle" was a basic pound cake recipe with blueberries and a streusel topping that just buckled up nicely, hence the name.

We use blueberries in many different ways. Pies, toppings for cheesecake (personally love any kind of
cheesecake), over ice cream and non dessert related, but still a personal favorite, blueberry pancakes.

I have put the family recipe for "Blueberry Buckle" below along with a recipe for Fresh Blueberry Cream Pie - Enjoy!
