Best Blueberries With Yogurt And Maple Blueberry Syrup Recipes

MAPLE WILD BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• To prepare crust: Mix whole-wheat flour, 1 cup all-purpose flour and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl or food processor. Work in butter using a pastry blender or two knives or by pulsing in the food processor until it's pebble-sized. Add oil and mix (or pulse) until combined. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing (or pulsing) until the dough is evenly moist (but not wet) and is just starting to clump together, being careful not to overmix. Divide the dough into 2 pieces and pat each into a 5-inch disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
• Remove the dough from the refrigerator; let stand for 10 minutes to warm up slightly (20 minutes if chilled more than 1 hour).
• Meanwhile, position a rack in center of oven and place a foil-lined baking sheet on the rack below; preheat to 425 degrees F.
• Roll one portion of dough between sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper into a 12- to 14-inch circle. Peel off the top sheet and invert the dough into a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan. Peel off the remaining sheet. Moisten the outer edge of the dough with water.
• To prepare filling: Whisk maple syrup, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Add blueberries; toss to combine. Spoon the filling into the crust.
• To prepare lattice top: Roll the remaining dough between sheets of parchment or wax paper into a 12-inch circle. Peel off the top sheet. Cut the dough into about twelve 1-inch strips using a pastry wheel or knife. Lift off every other strip and lay them on top of the pie, leaving about a 1-inch gap between strips. Use the shorter strips for the edges and the longer ones for the middle of the pie. (You may not need to use the outermost strips.) To weave the lattice, fold the first, third and fifth strips back to the edge of the pie. Place a shorter strip of dough across the second and fourth strips, about 1 inch from the edge. Unfold the folded strips over the crosswise strip. Fold back the second and fourth strips over the first crosswise strip. Place another strip crosswise, about 1 inch from the first. Unfold the strips over the second crosswise strip. Continue folding back alternating strips and placing crosswise strips until the top is covered with woven strips. Trim any uneven edges and tuck the overhanging crust under the bottom crust; crimp or pinch the outer edge to seal the top and bottom crusts together. Brush just the lattice top (not the outer edge) with the egg white-maple mixture.
• Bake for 20 minutes. Rotate 180 degrees.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees . Continue baking until the crust is golden and the filling is beginning to bubble, 50 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes more. (If you used fresh berries, the pie will be done sooner than if made with frozen berries.) Check the crust toward the end; if it looks too dark, tent the top and edges with foil to prevent overbrowning. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving.

BLUEBERRY MAPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• Combine the maple syrup, 1 cup of the blueberries and lemon juice in a medium sauce pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and boil for ten minutes. Let cool to lukewarm, then stir in the remaining ½ cup fresh blueberries. Store in the refrigerator.

BLUEBERRY MAPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• Combine 1 1/2 cups berries and syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until berries are slightly softened, about 2 minutes, then mash using the back of a spoon. Simmer until mixture foams up a bit, about 1 to 2 minutes more.
• Remove from heat, strain to remove blueberry solids, stir in remaining 1 1/2 cups berries, and use to top pancakes, waffles, or French toast.

BLUEBERRIES WITH YOGURT AND MAPLE-BLUEBERRY SYRUP

Steps:

• In a small heavy saucepan combine maple syrup, water, and 1 1/2 cups blueberries and simmer mixture, covered, 5 minutes. Pour mixture through a sieve into a bowl, pressing on solids, and stir in lemon juice to taste. Syrup keeps, covered and chilled, 2 days. Reheat syrup or bring to room temperature before serving.
• Serve remaining 6 1/2 cups blueberries topped with yogurt and maple-blueberry syrup.

BLUEBERRY OR BLACKBERRY COMPOTE WITH YOGURT OR RICOTTA

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except cornstarch dissolved in water and ricotta or yogurt in a saucepan. Add 1 tablespoon water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer until blueberries release their juices and blackberries begin to break apart, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally from time to time.
• Stir in dissolved cornstarch and stir until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and allow to cool, or serve warm, spooned over yogurt or ricotta. Alternative method: I use this method with blackberries, since as they break down more: Toss the berries in a bowl with 2 tablespoons organic sugar. Cover and refrigerate overnight. The next day, add 1 more tablespoon sugar, honey or agave nectar if desired and proceed with step 1 of the recipe.

BLUEBERRY SYRUP

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup blueberries and the lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until some berries begin to pop, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until about half the berries have burst and the liquid has thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in 1/3 cup syrup for a compote consistency and 1/2 cup for a thinner sauce. Add the remaining 1 cup blueberries, raise the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and some whole berries remain, about 5 minutes. Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
• Reheat until warm to spoon over pancakes, waffles, French toast, scones, oatmeal or other hot breakfast treats, or grilled pork, chicken or steak. Serve cold over yogurt, ice cream, sorbet, pudding, custard, cheesecake or ricotta toast.

BLUEBERRY SIMPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• Mix blueberries, water, and sugar together using a whisk in a small saucepan over low heat until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium and bring a gentle boil, stirring often, until syrup is thickened, about 15 minutes.
• Whisk lemon juice into syrup; serve immediately or cool.

MAPLE BLUEBERRY PARFAIT

Steps:

• Cook 2 1/4 cups (3/4 pound) blueberries with 1/2 cup maple syrup in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until blueberries have burst, 3 to 8 minutes. Cool in an ice bath, stirring occasionally.
• While blueberry mixture cools, beat cream with remaining 1/4 cup maple syrup in a bowl using an electric mixer until it just holds stiff peaks.
• Stir lemon juice and remaining 1 1/4 cups blueberries into cooled blueberry-maple mixture.
• Spoon about 2 tablespoons blueberry mixture into each of 6 glasses and top with half of crumbled cookies and half of whipped cream. Repeat layering of remaining blueberry mixture, crumbled cookies, and whipped cream.
• Serve parfaits immediately.
