Equipment

  • Spoon (for stirring)
  • Bowl for mixing
  • Refrigerator to let the mixture rest

Ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoon butter flavor extract
  • 1/4 cup frozen blueberries
  • Sugar to taste
  • 1/3 cup cornmeal
  • 1 1/3 cups water
  • Milk if needed
  • Butter or margarine to taste

Instructions

  • Now, let’s dive into the step-by-step process of preparing this delectable dish.

Step 1: Cooking the Cornmeal

  • In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Gradually whisk in the cornmeal, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue cooking on low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until the cornmeal thickens and becomes creamy.

Step 2: Adding the Blueberries and Flavor Extract

  • Add the frozen blueberries to the cooked cornmeal, gently stirring them into the mixture. Incorporate the butter flavor extract, adjusting the quantity based on your personal preference for a more pronounced buttery taste.

Step 3: Sweetening to Taste

  • To enhance the natural sweetness of the dish, add sugar or Splenda sugar substitute in small increments until you achieve your desired level of sweetness. Remember to taste as you go to prevent over-sweetening.

Step 4: Enhancing the Flavor

  • For an indulgent touch, add a small amount of butter or margarine to the blueberry mush. This step is optional and can be adjusted based on personal preference.

Step 5: Achieving the Desired Consistency

  • If you prefer a creamier texture, add a splash of milk to the blueberry mush, stirring continuously until fully incorporated. Adjust the amount based on your desired consistency.

Notes

Here are some useful tips to perfect your blueberry mush:
1. Use fresh blueberries as an alternative to frozen ones for a different flavor profile.
2. Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to elevate the taste and aroma of your blueberry mush.
3. Experiment with different sweeteners like honey or maple syrup to suit your preferences.
4. For added texture, sprinkle chopped nuts or seeds on top of your blueberry mush.
5. Serve your blueberry mush warm, as it tends to thicken when cooled. If needed, reheat gently with a splash of milk or water before serving.
