Here in Prince Edward Island (eastern Canada ) we are into blueberry season. They do grow wild but we have a large amount that are cultivated and grown by farmers. Here are a couple of my favorite blueberry recipes. The first is a coffee cake type recipe that was given to me by a lady who lives near my mother. The other is a muffin recipe that is my family's favorite.

Blueberry Cake

1/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup milk
1 3/4 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups blueberries
2 tbsp white sugar

Topping:
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup margarine or butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8 x 8 pan. Cream shortening and sugar. Add egg and vanilla and beat until fluffy. Mix together flour, baking powder and salt. Add alternately with milk. Pour 1/2 of the batter in the pan. Combine 1 1/2 cup blueberries and 2 tbsp white sugar. Place blueberries and sugar over the batter. Pour rest of batter over the top of blueberries. Mix topping and crumble over the cake batter. Bake 40 minutes or until cake tests done.
