We have a couple "U-Pick" orchards offering blueberries 'in season'. I'll
buy some 'they picked' berries when I need some. At 82 and on oxygen I'm
just not up for pretending to be a farmer.  Bv)=

Last blueberries I picked with off the plant were on the banks of Puget
Sound at ther Hap Newsome hosted picnic in Tacoma.

Unusual ingresients but it looks tasty. And qualifies as "fusion" cuisione.

      Title: Blueberry-Orange Pancakes
 Categories: Breads, Dairy, Citrus, Fruits
      Yield: 9 Pancakes
 
      1 c  Almond milk greek yogurt *
      2 lg Eggs; whisked
           Zest of 2 oranges
      3 tb Orange juice
      2 tb Maple syrup or sorghum
      1 ts Vanilla extract
      1 c  Tapioca flour
      1 c  Almond flour
      1 ts Baking powder
        pn Salt
      1 c  Blueberries; more as garnish
 
  Whisk together yogurt, eggs, zest, orange juice, syrup,
  and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
  
  Mix in tapioca flour, almond flour, baking powder and
  salt. Fold in blueberries.
  
  Place pan over medium heat, grease pan, then use an ice
  cream scoop to scoop the batter onto pan. Cook on each
  side for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles begin to show in the
  batter, then flip.
  
  Top pancakes with blueberries and syrup.
  
  * I have used standard Chobani Greek Yoghurt if making
  from "scratch" as well as self-rising flour in place
  of the non-wheat flour(s). I've never made these with
  maple syrup since I don't care for that old tradition.
