Yes, brownies can—and should—be made with white chocolate.

In this cake, the natural pectin in the citrus, combined with the sugar, creates a pudding-like upside-down layer that’s similar to a buttery marmalade.

If the dough starts to soften as you form these, pop it back in the fridge for ten minutes to firm back up.

Layers of graham cracker, lemony mascarpone (or Greek yogurt), and blueberry–chia seed jam freeze in a loaf pan to become the easiest cake you’ve ever made.

Parbaking the crust of this blueberry pancake–flavored custard pie ensures the bottom will be crisp when it’s done.

Preserve those last summer berries with this quick and easy jam. Then slather it on toast, whisk it into a fruity salad dressing, or swirl into store-bought ice cream.

If you love corn muffins and blueberry jam, you’ll love this seasonal dessert.

For those times when you buy as many quarts of berries as you can carry, then don’t know what to do with them, preserve them into drinkable form.

Apple cider helps hydrate the dough without activating too much gluten; the results are ultra-flaky.

A made-from-scratch superfood version of ordinary fruit yogurt (which you will likely never want to buy again!).

Also delicious with frozen strawberries or mangoes instead of the pineapple, and with orange juice or any other nut milk for the liquid.

A unique and textured crisp with the flavors of corn muffins and blueberry jam smashed together.

There's no need to make homemade ice cream when blueberry jam ups the flavor and the presentation.

Keeping some blueberries whole in these ice pops results in unexpected, surprising bursts of sweet, fresh flavor.

Don’t worry if this looks a little runny when it’s hot. The chia seeds will plump as the jam cools, thickening it considerably.

The more particular you are when building the layers in the loaf pan, the more neat and tidy this will look when sliced.

Blueberry pancakes, but make it pie.
