“With summer comes fresh fruit, ripe and ready to eat—and a whole new realm of ingredients to incorporate in the kitchen. Our favorite? Blueberries.

Sweet, juicy blueberries peak in mid to late summer across the nation, so get ‘em while you can! Rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, these naturally sugary berries are amazing no matter how you eat them—fresh, frozen, baked, pureed, or picked right from the bush.

We tried out her easy-to-follow recipe for blueberry and mascarpone turnovers and couldn’t resist eating the entire batch. With just a hint of lemon zest, these light pastries are the perfect pair to any brunch. Try them out by clicking on the image below!”—abullseyeview.com
