I was given some blueberries and decided to use them in the blueberry muffin recipe. The instructions have you chop about half of the berries and the rest go in whole. That was an interesting process. I used my tiny Black and Decker food chopper. It worked well, and I didn't have to clean the big one. The recipe adds lemon zest and juice of one lemon. Both Craig and I thought it was too lemony. I will use this chopping technique again, but reduce the lemon. They look really pretty. They are intensely blueberry and not at all mooshy which I was afraid of with the chopped berries.

  1. I was wondering how this recipe would turn out with chopping some of the berries, so I'm glad you tried it first! Since yours turned out so lovely, I'm going to go ahead and make these. I'll likely reduce the lemon, too, since I don't like it when the lemon overpowers the berry flavor.
