Summer is here again. Which means lots of fresh local fruits from Okanagan, Langley and other nearby farms here in BC. We do have imported fruits from around the World all year round, they are all healthy and so very good for you.
One of my favorite fruit is the blueberry. In season, they are very sweet and can be use in all types of recipes. I like using them for making muffins, cup cakes, cakes, pies and jams. I usually buy in bulk, then I freeze them. Blueberries are rich in antioxidants and phytochemicals that reduces inflammation, lowers cholesterol and inhibits the formation of cancer cells in the body.
One thing I noticed about blueberries when you put them on muffins, cupcakes and pies, they taste great, the day after (that is, if there are left overs, in my family that hardly happens). Serve with your favorite ice cream (love them with vanilla ice cream) and you are set to enjoy an awesome dessert on a warm summer day.
