Blueberry Gateau

Our micro-crop of blueberries is coming along nicely. We may have upwards of 100 blueberries this year! A real landslide compared to the crop of ten we had last Summer.

These little garden beauties are destined for a few bowls of cereal, nothing more. But even though there are hardly enough to speak of, we grew them ourselves and that will make them the best we've had all season!

Alas, the farmer's market is my actual source for blueberries. I need cartons and cartons to keep up with the Blueberry Gateau requests. It has become my signature dish in July and I just can't make it enough.

Have you ever made Blueberry Gateau? Make it once and they will ask for it for the rest of your life.

Blueberry Gateau

Blueberry Gateau...I have been making this recipe for years courtesy of Country Living magazine and a feature they did on Blueberry Hill Inn in Vermont. The recipe is published on their website here - you should really try it. It is a thin chewy cake with pockets of fresh blueberries. I make it several times a Summer and people love it. Great in the morning, perfect with tea, wonderful after dinner on the deck. Enough reasons? Plus, it is fun to say gateau.
