1 Cup Milk
1 ¼ Cup Whipping Cream
1 Tsp. Lemon Zest

Pour egg mixture evenly over the bread mixture. Press mixture lightly with the back of a large spoon so all the bread is soaking up the egg/milk mixture. You do not want any “dry” bread.

Bake uncovered in a 350 degree oven for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool slightly. Serve with ice cream or vanilla sauce.

Streusel Topping (optional): In a small bowl mix all ingredients until crumbly. Sprinkle over top of bread mixture.

Blueberry Frozen Yogurt
3 Cups frozen Blueberries (about 1.1lb)
3 Tbsp. Lemon Juice
¾ Cup to 1 Cup of Sugar (depending on how sweet your blueberries are, and how sweet you want the result to be)
¼ Tsp. Salt
⅛ Tsp. Cinnamon

1 ½ Cups full fat plain yogurt (full fat yogurt is preferred, if you use low-fat or non-fat yogurt, substitute ¼ Cup of it with heavy whipping cream)
½ Cup Whole Milk

Place the blueberries, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and cinnamon in a medium saucepan. Heat on medium heat, stirring until all of the sugar has dissolved. While the mixture is heating, use a potato masher to mash up the blueberries. When all of the sugar has dissolved, remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes. If you want a smooth result, you can process the cooled mixture in a food processor, or skip, in which case you'll have pieces of blueberries which can add flavorful texture to the frozen yogurt.

Stir in the yogurt and milk until completely incorporated. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for several hours (or overnight) until completely cold. Process the blueberry yogurt mixture in your ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions (usually about 25 minutes). Serve immediately (it will be soft) or let it firm up a bit by freezing it for several hours. Makes about 1 quart.

5lbs Potatoes
½ Cup Celery, chopped
½ Cup Onion, chopped
2 Tbsp. Margarine or Butter
1.5 Cup Milk
1 pkg. The Blueberry Store’s Blueberry Sausage
1-2 pints fresh or frozen Blueberries
Salt & Pepper to Taste

Peel and dice the potatoes. Place potatoes in a large pot with water, and bring to a boil until potatoes are partially cooked. Add Milk, Margarine/Butter, Celery, and Onions; let simmer for approximately 5 minutes.

While soup is simmering, remove the sausage from its casing. Cut the sausage into pieces and warm in a pan. The sausage is precooked, so be careful not to burn it. Once the sausage has been warmed through; add to pot with other ingredients. Simmer for approximately 5 minutes.

Add the Fresh/Frozen Blueberries. Put the Blueberries in by the handful; make a judgment call as to the amount that the soup will actually need, as it may need more or less. Be sure to fold the soup when stirring. This will allow for the berries to remain whole, before the heat begins to break them down. Add Salt & Pepper to taste. When adding any of the ingredients to the soup, especially the milk, evaluate how much will be needed to make the soup balance.

*May add mashed potato flakes to thicken to desired consistency. Serves 6-8.
