Well-known member
and plan on picking more this week. Any tried and true savory type of blueberry recipes? I am thinking hot bluberry-jalepeno jam or jelly, but am open to other ideas, sauces, etc. I have quite a few sweet, dessert type recipes.

TIA!

 
Here are a few of our favorites - not savory but good
