Finally! Blueberry season is here! (May through October) Whenever I’m asked to bring dessert, I take special pleasure in preparing and sharing this one.  Everyone loves it, wants to know how to make it and they’re amazed when I tell them there are only 4 ingredients! (I never add in the honey, it’s sweet enough without it.) At home, I usually prepare this the night before and serve it for breakfast.  Yes! Blueberry Pie for breakfast and it’s good for you!
