Hey with the wild blueberry and pomegranate bruschetta are you thawing the frozen blueberries at all or just letting them thaw on their own? I’m going through this roundup now, nailing down my menu tonight 🙂
Hey! For this recipe, I just let them thaw on their own and then was careful when spooning the fruit onto the crostini not to carry the juices along with it.
It’s crunch time for Thanksgiving recipes! I’ll be sure to show these to my clients, thanks for including my buttermilk mashed cauliflower!
