This blueberry applesauce is rather easy. I’m almost embarrassed to even post about it. I mean, it’s applesauce with blueberries thrown it.
I gave away the recipe in the first sentence.
Then I thought maybe, just maybe, I wasn’t the only one who had never done this before. I know if that is the case, all of you would appreciate this recipe. Blueberry applesauce is a great twist on a classic side dish.
Are you like we are? I have the hardest time coming up with a different side dish to feed my family at mealtime. I can make a great main course. My dessert options are unlimited. Bread? No problem. But for me to whip up a great, unique side dish, not really going to happen. Unless, of course, I really, really make a point to try like these cauliflower tots or cauliflower breadsticks.

One day, while pondering my typical side dish decisions (applesauce, green beans, corn, carrots or potatoes), I thought about combining a few favorites. We always have blueberries in the house and applesauce is a favorite around here. Why not combine the two?
We would rather have homemade applesauce than store bought, but apples weren’t really abundant last year so no homemade applesauce for us. :-( However, store bought tastes fine. Especially when we added the blueberries. ;-)
The only problem we encountered with this dish is the fact I only had a little bit of applesauce left. I didn’t really think of how much it would be enjoyed and there wasn’t enough for seconds. Oh, well. I made more the next time.
