Blueberry Boy Bait

I had some leftover blueberries that I wanted to do something with so I decided to make my version of blueberry boy bait. Actually, I really wanted to make a peach cobbler but alas I ate all the peaches, they were just so ripe and deliciously good on their own I couldn't resist. Blueberries, however, never get eaten up and I don't like to eat them on their own. It's probably because of where I live and that we just never get good ones, I guess. Some day I want to go visit blueberry country and eat some right off the bush!

 I saw this recipe several years ago and tried it a couple of times but my family just thought it didn't have enough flavor. My daughter, Alexandra thought adding lemon zest would improve the flavor but I already have the lemon blueberry bundt cake recipe that I love and I just wanted something different. In this recipe, I have made some changes that make it more flavorful and yummy!
