Blueberry Applesauce

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.

{I am always looking for side dish ideas! Send them into me if you have a great one!}

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.
