Shall I Combat Alzheimer’s With Blueberries?

    Liz’s post, Blueberries and Alzheimer’s, reminded me of my enjoyment of this food and sent me to the kitchen to pull some from the freezer (it’s not fresh blueberry season right now). I combined the blueberries with some other fruit in a dish and spooned blueberry yogurt over all.  Delicious!

My hubby made blueberry buckwheat pancakes for breakfast this morning.  He’s the pancake specialist in our family.  His pancake breakfasts are always a hit.

Blueberry memories go back to my childhood, when Mother took us children berry picking on Blueberry Hill.  We paid the owner of the property and picked our pails full of these tasty morsels.  Then brought them home to eat with milk and sugar, in pie, on cereal, as blueberry dumplings, and blueberry cake.

My husband and I have helped a friend rake low bush blueberries and winnow them to separate out the twigs and leaves.  That’s back breaking work, so really makes one appreciate the blueberries we buy ready picked.

So….I’m pleased to find there’s so much value in eating blueberries and that they may play a role in combating Alzheimer’s.

Do you have blueberry memories or recipes you’d like to share?
