| A holiday like July 4th should include freedom from the kitchen |
It's not easy to improve on Nature's little blue beauties. Though they do seem kinda plain and naked...
Ingredients:
Fresh blueberries, gently washed and thoroughly dried, at room temperature. The amount varies, based on the size of berries. I didn't measure, but I probably used 4 or 5 cups. You want just enough naked berries to slip comfortably and completely into that silky robe of chocolate.
12 ounces dark chocolate--use a good quality kind, like Ghirardelli 60% Cacao, Bittersweet Chocolate
Microwave the chocolate in a heat-safe glass bowl, first for one minute and then thirty seconds at a time, stirring until smooth and completely melted.
Gently fold blueberries into the melted chocolate and drop by spoonfuls onto a wax paper covered cookie sheet.
Freeze for about 10 minutes or until chocolate is firm.
Clusters should be kept refrigerated and eaten with 24 hours. Around here, that's not a problem.
Happy Independence Day!
