Last week I was craving the refreshing summer flavour of blueberries. Thankfully, I alway have batches of frozen blueberries on hand for off season emergencies such as these. It’s been ages since I posted a What’s Cooking Wednesday recipe and this one is a must share - Wild Blueberry Flan courtesy of Canadian Living.
I love this simple dessert and it is always a hit with dinner guests. Even after baking and setting, the blueberries remain crisp, juicy and flavourful. The splash of orange liquor and lemon zest really make the blueberries sing! Yum!
