Blueberries are one of the most beloved berries in the Nordics. They grow wild in our forests and invite us to enjoy both peaceful walks and creative moments in the kitchen. With their deep blue color, fresh sweetness, and high nutritional value, blueberries have a natural place on summer and autumn menus — from refreshing drinks to classic pies.

Blueberry drink — fresh summer in a glass

A blueberry drink is both beautiful and refreshing, perfect as an aperitif or for a warm summer evening.

Blueberry Mojito — recipe:

  • 4 cl white rum

  • 1 handful fresh blueberries

  • 1 tsp raw sugar

  • Fresh mint

  • Juice from 1/2 lime

  • Soda water

  • Ice

Muddle the blueberries together with sugar, mint, and lime juice in a glass. Fill with ice and rum. Top up with soda water and stir gently. Garnish with extra blueberries and a sprig of mint.

Blueberry pie — a timeless classic

Blueberry pie is a true favorite, loved by both children and adults. It’s easy to bake and can be varied with a crumble topping, pastry lid, or crisp pie crust.

Blueberry crumble pie — recipe:

  • 500 g blueberries (fresh or frozen)

  • 1 tbsp potato starch

  • 2 tbsp sugar

Crumble topping:

  • 125 g butter

  • 2 dl (about 1 cup) all-purpose flour

  • 1 dl (about 1/2 cup) rolled oats

  • 1 dl (about 1/2 cup) sugar

Mix the blueberries with potato starch and sugar, and place them in a baking dish. Combine the butter with flour, oats, and sugar until you get a crumbly dough. Distribute the crumble evenly over the berries and bake at 200°C (about 390°F) for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown. Serve with vanilla sauce or ice cream.
