Blueberries what a delight fruit, and it grows in my grandaughters back yard, so I have plenty of them. Since I get many orders from the locals for my cinnamon rolls, I enjoy making people happy and this is one way I can. Baking is what I do, Its fun and very therapeutic. So this recipe is great, a lil time consuming but I say making things with loves always taste way better.
