"I have had this recipe forever, it seems. I may try new recipes, but this is THE ONE recipe I always make! We pick wild blueberries every August, so our freezer has an abundance of BBs all year - perfect!"

This is a recipe without butter or milk. My daughter is allergic. It is also very tasty. She and I made these together and enjoyed eating them. I will also try it with apple juice or a berry juice. The orange is not overpowering, but it definitely comes through.
