Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake Bars Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake Bars
This Blueberry dessert is a tribute to my Mother. Every summer as kids my Mom would take us blueberry picking, not at farms but just in the woods around our house where wild Maine Blueberry bushes were loaded with small intense flavored wonderful berries. She made these cheesecake bars and called it just Blueberry dessert. She never wrote a recipe for it but I saw it made so often that this is my best try at re creating it. I don't have access to the wild New England blueberries now but it is delicious with any fresh blueberries. fenway -
