Lemon Blueberry Recipes FAQ
What flavors pair well with lemon and blueberry?
Vanilla, almond and honey are just a few flavors that pair well with lemon and blueberry. Use vanilla bean paste or pure almond or vanilla extract to add warmth or nuttiness that complements both fruits. Add lime or orange zest and juice for a more complex citrusy taste and extra brightness. Herbs such as thyme or lavender introduce a subtle floral note that elevates lemon blueberry desserts and is less expected.
How do I prevent blueberries from sinking in baked goods?
To prevent blueberries from sinking in baked goods, gently toss them with flour until lightly coated before adding to the recipe, so they cling to the batter. You can also reserve a few berries and sprinkle them on top of the batter before baking, making them less likely to fall to the bottom. The thicker the batter, the easier it will be to keep them from sinking. To maximize the taste and appearance of the fruit in your bake, avoid common berry mistakes and start with firm, plump, properly washed berries.
What’s the best way to store lemon blueberry desserts?
The best way to store lemon blueberry desserts is in airtight containers to prevent them from drying out and to preserve the flavor. Refrigerate those with dairy or moist fillings for up to one week, and keep baked goods like muffins and scones at room temperature for three to five days. Layer sugary or glazed desserts between parchment paper sheets to keep them from sticking together.
