The Humble Blueberry: These little fruits have been around since prehistoric times and were first cultivated in North America. They are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that can help keep your body healthy. Plus, they taste great when added to smoothies, baked into muffins or blended into a Lavender Blueberry Sorbet.
Lavender Blueberry Sorbet is a palette cleansing first course at the Old Parkdale Inn Bed and Breakfast, a dish produced from an explosion of Blueberries and Lavender in Oregon’s Hood River Valley.
Ingredients:Serves 2
2 ripe frozen bananas
1 cup frozen blueberries
¼ cup lite coconut milk
2 tsp dried lavender
Directions:
1. Peel ripe bananas, wrap in glad wrap and freeze overnight.
2. Add frozen bananas, blueberries, and coconut milk to food processor or blender and process until fluffy, smooth, and creamy.
3. Add lavender and carefully mix through with wooden spoon.
4. Empty the mixture into a container and put back into the freezer for a few hours to set.
5. When the sorbet is ready, scoop with an ice-cream scoop, top with fresh fruit. Enjoy
