Blueberry muffins?

I love blueberries, and the precious few weeks they're in season are some of the happiest of my year. But you won't find any recipes for blueberry muffins, pancakes, waffle or pie on my blog. For me, heat only hurts a blueberry. Once you cook them, blueberries lose the tart freshness that distinguishes them, taking on a kind of sickly sweetness. So once the season is over, I bid farewell to my fine, blue friends and turn to other fruits.

But before that happens, I'm going to delight in as many blueberries as I can, with a few raspberries on the side. My favorite way to eat berries this summer has been mixed with strained yogurt, walnuts and honey. Mmmm....
