Cooking Notes

These are heavenly! This is my favorite kind of non-recipe recipe. Simple & transformative. I used regular organic blueberries instead of wild ones and ate them after 25 (not 60 minutes as instructed) and they were simply fantastic.

It’s 95 degrees F outside (“feels like 100” per my weather app). I have beautiful farmers market blueberries that I really must do something with, but I can’t bring myself to turn the oven on to make a pie. I probably wouldn’t have even looked at this if it were from anyone other than Jacques Pepin, but I decided to try it. The flavor is far more interesting than the sum of its parts! And I’m not even a big maple syrup fan.
