Too much, however, and you end up with blue teeth and blue tongue!  LOL  (not that I have EVER done that......hahahahahahaha)

When we were first married and cash was tight I use to make a side dish with those little shells by cooking them in tomato juice instead of water.  The tomato juice was "free", always from the annual home canned supply.

great minds think alike Beth.. I was just thinking to make some scones instead of biscuits.. I know I have seen the recipes, but no idea where...

But I don't have access to my recipes right now.  But the main thing was to roll the dough into a rectangle and then spread a layer of blueberries down the middle and fold 1/3 of the dough on top of them, then another layer of blueberries and fold the other 1/3 of the dough to cover.  It kept the berries from smashing and coloring all the dough.  I'm pretty sure I put some lemon zest in it as well...or topped with a lemon glaze....

You end up with a rather narrow strip of dough that then got cut into triangles, sprinkled with sugar
and baked off.  

Or, you could make a sweet biscuit dough, add the blueberries and bake them in mini muffin tins...easier than rolling and shaping.  The lemon glaze is really good on them.  It's just powdered sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice....add water if too thick.  You can even dip the whole little blueberry muffins in the glaze and let them dry on a rack.  

Darn, now I'M hungry for them and I don't have any blueberries OR lemons in the house!

I made my blueberry jam scones, using Martha Stewart's recipe, following Beth's suggestion to spread the jam and fold the dough, then following my neighbor's suggestion ( we talked about it on our morning walk this morning) to bake the whole piece and cut it after it baked.. it turns out just perfect.. my DH said: it's good with his blue lips  

oh I substituted heavy cream with plain yogurt (I did not have and rarely buy heavy cream)

we just ate it for our brunch, we are late risers ( well.. I went back to sleep after my walk
