At the weekend we went to Costco and i got a big box of grapes (massive) for £2.70!!!
DD spotted some blueberries and begged for thenm but it was a big box. I caved in the end and as i though, she doesn't like them. Can't say i've used them before so any ideas how to use up alot of them??

  • puree and freeze
  • bung in pancakes, muffins
  • put in smoothies.


I'm boggled that your DD doesn't like them, though, both my DSes will pig out on blueberries, given the chance.

we have a handful in our cereal or with yoghurt every morning. DS will have a handful for a snack. have never cooked with them, but they disappear fast in our house.

They are (allegedly) a 'super food' - i.e. have fantastic health benefits so encourage your DD!!
