- 1/4 cup frozen blueberries
- Sugar to taste
- 1/3 cup cornmeal
- 1 1/3 cups water

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.

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.
