Sorry, but neither my husband nor I enjoyed this dish. It's probably because we don't really care for blueberries that much and the flavor of the blueberries seemed to be quite overpowering. That being said, if you love blueberries, do give this a try. Make sure your blueberries are completely thawed before beginning this dish. Mine probably weren't, and it created too much liquid.
