NOTES

This is a recipe my mother won a prize for and used to make for us as a treat when we were children using the wonderful fresh blueberries from our home state of Rhode Island. Using frozen blueberries just doesn't give the same results. Enjoy this for a quick breakfast or brunch. Recipe by Scott Neuse
