I found several variations of this recipe on Pinterest (cause’ that’s where all the groovy recipes are). I eventually settled on Kleinworth & Co. version. Why?.. well they had the best picture of course so they must be the best, turns out I was right!
You can use fresh or frozen blueberries and I’ll just bet you could substitute Raspberries, Apples or Peaches…oh yum, Peaches sound perfect for next time!

Kathi, the frozen WILD blueberries at Safeway are fantastico! Try them. so sweet!
Hey Holly! No I didn’t know abou the frozen bluebs at Safeway being so good! I’ll give them a try. They sure don’t last long fresh…but I think all of Safeways produce is not so great….
Hi!! I found these bars and couldn’t decide between blueberry and pineapple so I made them as a blueberry/pineapple combo and they’re amazing. I used 2 c. frozen blueberries and 1 cup of crushed pineapple…the perfect summer bar! Thanks for such a yummy recipe!
How clever! Pineapple and Blueberries just sound wonderful together…great idea!
Kathi
regular sugar or brown sugar?
White sugar.
thanks!
Oh man. I am about to make this recipe for the THIRD time in a week: firstly I made the pineapple slice; two days later when that was gone I made one using half pineapple, half frozen peaches chopped up small, and substituting a little of the sour cream amount with vanilla coffee creamer (do you see that we were desperate, and had to improvise with what was on hand). Unable o face a world without that melt-in-your-mouth, buttery, crumbly crust and delicious fruity middle, and having gone a- grocerying yesterday, I am going to give my boyfriend’s request, blueberry, a try now. THANK YOU, Kathi!
Way to rock a recipe Sari! You are the kinda cook I love…improvise with a simple recipe for a 100 different ways. Thanks for your sweet note! Clink!
