Pairing sweet blueberries with tart and tangy lemon is the ideal way to feature these summer flavors. The tender cake benefits from the subtle hint of lemon, while the fluffy frosting has more intense notes. Pureed berries give the frosting its naturally beautiful hue.

Blueberry Clafoutis
![blueberry clafoutis](https://www.southernliving.com/thmb/1EeADK71mJrOq1SB7FIYKsyRers=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/SL_BlueberryClafoutis947-3688bff9eece4623807c7882f16bc117.jpg)
Jennifer Causey; Food Stylist: Margaret Monroe Dickey
Blueberries take this classic French dessert to the next level. Clafoutis is typically made with cherries, but blueberries give their own juicy and flavorful take on the original that we know you'll love. To make it, you'll start by scattering blueberries along the bottom of a baking dish (we recommend a cast iron skillet). Then you'll pour the batter atop the berries and bake until golden brown.

This blueberry pie discards traditional warm spices by swapping them for fresh, bright flavors like honey, sage, and lime zest for a brighter version. For this recipe, we use our homemade double-crust pie pastry for the crust, however, if you're running low on time, you can always buy some frozen pie crust from the store.
Blueberry Bread Pudding
