Recipes: Summer brings blueberry days — and blueberry recipes

"Recalling the New England summers of her childhood, food and travel writer Linda Dannenberg says, she thinks of blueberries.

"I can still smell my mother's lattice-topped blueberry pies cooling on our screened back porch, and taste the plump and tender sugar-topped blueberry muffins that we bought every August morning at Humphreys bakery on Martha's Vineyard," she writes.

Years ago, she adds, "We just loved them for themselves - tiny, perfect wash-and-ready fruit with lovely, thin indigo skin, very few seeds, a delicate balance of acidity and sweetness, and dainty, ruffled crowns."

Now, scientific reports published over the last five years, stemming from studies at Tufts University, Rutgers University, and the USDA's Agricultural Research Service, have hailed the blueberry's nutritional assets as a potent antioxidant with beneficial properties."
